Do the CYBI Kern River Citra DIPA; you've got enough Citra (you need a little Amarillo, too), and it's a great recipe.

I like Citra, but find that by itself it is a little to overpowering. it does play well with others.
I do an IPA that uses Citra, Centennial and Cascade that is a nice combo. Citra and Amarillo also is a good combo.

Was the grain bill easy to obtain?
I didn't think it was too bad...my lbhs had everything (Charlotte - alternative beverage...they deliver as well). I've found it is a lot easier to go to the actual store than trying to buy online as I have never found a store online that sells in specific quantities that recipes like ZD require (like the 1.13 pounds of munich). If you have a scale and don't mind leftovers I think the ingredients are fairly easy to find online. Otherwise, I would try to go to a store in person.
I want to make your clone sooooo bad. But I can't bring myself to use my precious supply of Citra with 04 yeast. I'll have to find a substitue....I don't want to dump a beer again.
Just started drinking the zombie dust clone I made (posted earlier in thread) this week..... it is great and looks like it is going to have a very short lifespan Be brewing it again within a few weeks for sure.

Toss some Cascade in there - I've heard so-so reports about Citra as a buttering hop. Plus, I just made an American Amber with Cascade-Citra and it turned out great, excellent combination of flavors.

It is fine. Some people seem to think liquid is better than dry. I am not one of them. I have used a lot of S-04 and S-05 with no bad results from the yeast.
Actually no....I use dry yeast on 75% of my brews. I just hate the taste that 04 adds to the brew. Some like it...but many (including myself) can't stand the crap.

Here is a clone I did of a local brewery's citra IPA. It is a wonderful beer.

And here is a page that looks at the results with a tasting comparison etc. Color and taste were right on.
