A few weeks ago I made a Spotted Cow clone from Northern Brewing, it tasted excellent! It's a Partial Mash kit which gets me a step closer to all grain brewing, and it tasted nearly spot on, but I felt it was missing a citrus element. So, I'm trying a second batch to see if I can't nail down the addition of a 'citrus element' to a beer. The guys at Northern (always very, very helpful) recommended an additional 1/2 oz Saaz hop with 30 minutes left in the boil in addition to the 1 oz of Cluster hops in the original recipe. We'll see how it worked in 4-5 weeks. Also, I am planning on pulling off 1 gallon as an experiment batch, and letting it ferment in a few lemon peels... You know, just to see what happens.
Cheers,
