Back into Brewing Beer!

It's been a while since I last brewed beer, largely because we haven't had a kitchen. The last time that I brewed beer was actually not at my house and I left it, unfortunately, too long fermenting, so I had to dump that batch. So, last week, I finally brewed once again and, similarly to that previous batch, I put 6 pounds of extra pale malt extract in along with California Ale Yeast (White Labs WLP001).

And here is the hops schedule:
90 minutes before end of boil - 1.5oz Centennial (9.0% AAU)
75 minutes before end of boil - 1.5oz Columbus (15.6% AAU)
60 minutes before end of boil - 1oz Citra (14.2% AAU)
45 minutes before end of boil - .5oz Centennial (9.0% AAU) & .5oz Columbus (15.6% AAU)
35 minutes before end of boil - 1oz Citra (14.2% AAU)
15 minutes before end of boil - .5oz Citra (14.2% AAU)
10 minutes before end of boil - .5oz Citra (14.2% AAU)
5 minutes before end of boil - .5oz Citra (14.2% AAU)
end of boil - .5oz Citra (14.2% AAU)

Looking forward  to seeing how this lighter brew will turn out :)
