Help with IPA

[Spartacus]

Just picked ingredients for single hop ipa. Using mostly citra for that tropical flavor. Need suggestions on hop schedule.
Here's the ingredients

3/4 lb Munich 1/2 lb Crystal 1/4 Carapils 1/4 lb Wheat..... I have 6 oz of Citra and 1 oz of Chinook. Using Wyeast 1056. Also dry hopping. Any suggestions for hop schedule would be appreciated.

Don't use the chinook if you want a single hop but maybe I would use the chinook early to bitter then flavor with citra. I'd use a program or web site to play around with the hop sched. I use beer smith. Are you more interested in bitterness or flavor/aroma or both?

 

[Spartacus]

I wanted a little bitterness up front with a strong tropical aroma/ flavor in the finish. That's why I got 1 oz of Chinook for the start.

I would start with shooting for a 1:1 ratio for BU:GU or bittering units to gravity units (ie 75 IBU for a 1.075 OG beer). I would make sure to add hops in increments from 30 minutes to flameout, and include at least 2 oz for dry hopping if you're going to do that. I am happy my IPAs and I usually add at 30 or 20, 15, 10, 5 and at flameout. I agree with using hte chinook as your 60 minute addition.
