Just means I didn't sparge or chill that beer, I use to live in an apartment and had to do that a lot. Don't worry about that, just brew as you normally would.

Thanks for the reply! 
Going to brew this weekend. Do you find a noticeable difference not chilling?
If your not sparging do you up the grain bill to increase extracted sugars?
Cheers!

I do find a noticeable difference with no chill and I only do it on Berlinerweisse and Gose now (which I don't throw any hops into). I just didn't have a water hose at the apartment I lived at.
Yes, just increase the base malt to account for decreased efficiency and make sure you have enough room in your mash tun.
I would replace the 60 minute addition with another, less expensive hop. I really don't like Citra too early in the boil. I usually dry hop or throw it in right at flame out nowadays. If I were to brew this again today I would do a FWH, 60, 10, and 5 minute additions with a big dry hop. This was 6 years ago when I brewed this so I've changed/learned a few things.
