Cloudwater citra ipa

[GHW]

I'm shaping a recipe up to test out the Vermont strain. There is also a Vermont/Brett mix strain in the U.S. That could be seriously interesting.

Not tried then citra IPA myself. But I have heard good things about it. The two brewers are the ex head Brewers from brew dog if my memory serves me correctly.

Didn't know they were from brewdog. I love the Vermont yeast, got about 5 more brews planned with it, all hoppy pales of some description. I wouldn't use it for bitters etc though.

Never tried to brew or even had a commercial Brett beer. Doubt I'll get round to trying to brew one either.

Had version 2 and didn't think that much of it.
Thought the version 3 was better, but don't see what all the hype is about

I've tried the Funktown blend from Yeast Bay which is a mix of Vermont and "wild" saccharomyces (I guess they mean Brux trois). I used it in a pale ale with amarillo and citra and it really boosted the fruitiness.

Sounds interesting. Do you need a separate dedicated fermenter for that, as you would with Brett?

Yes, I used a dedicated fermenter, siphon and bottling bucket, although I'm not entirely sure if its necessary with Brux trois.
