I am brewing the below recipe today and feel like it may be a little light on hops. I tend to go overboard on hops and don't want to compromise the overall balance of the beer. I'm also under 2ft of snow right now and can't make it to my homebrew store. I do have 1oz of fuggles and 1oz of hallertau hops on hand. Any suggestions to add either/both of these hops? If so where at in the hop schedule. Thanks

IMO what you have there is probably enough. What's the AA% on your citra? Even a half is probably enough for an amber. Maybe someone else will chime in? You could always do .25 on the citra and .25 on the fuggle?
