Hey guys,

I want to brew an all citra ipa. A local brewery in my area brewed a single hop, single grain double ipa pumping in at 8.8%abv. I only plan on brewing a single but want to replicate the same flavor.

I've brewed a few hop forward IPAs only using 7lbs light dme, 8oz carapils, 8oz corn sugar with fantastic results.

I just wanted your opinion on if you think it's too much citra.

7lbs light dry dme
8oz carapils
8oz corn sugar

1oz citra @60
1oz citra @30
1oz citra @10
1oz citra @5
1oz citra @0 (whirlpool for 15min)
Dry hop 2oz citra

Yeast is WLP001 California ale.
60 min boil

Beer smith says the ibus comes out to 64.7 and an abv of 7.2%
Thanks in advance
 
I think it looks fine. I did a zombie dust clone with 8 oz total. It came out great. I did 1 oz FWH and dumped the rest in every 5 min starting at 15 from the end, then dryhopped with 3 oz.

Are you looking for a decently light malt bill? You should steep a little crystal 40 or 60 for some color and malt backbone. If you partial mash at all, maybe some munich since it needs to be mashed. Just suggestions.
