General Info
Got a generous pull of Diablo from the Dry Dock - said to be the strain that ferments Flying Dog's Raging Bitch. Dry Dock uses it for their Witbier, so I thought I'd give it a whirl with Sardonic.
Finishing this time with Citra hops. At NHC 2011, we stuffed a Randall with Citra hops and ran Sardonic through them. The beer tapped in under an hour. The dry hopping with Citra provided another citrus punch, so I my thinking is that a bit of Citra to finish will be just the thing to elevate this brew...
