I want to do an IIPA to help use up some aging hops. (Please don’t suggest I buy Magnum, CTZ, etc. for bittering. Not going to happen.)

I have on hand El Dorado, Citra, Simcoe, which I would usually use for late additions. But this is an IIPA, and I want a conventional 2-3 oz bittering. They are all about 14% AA.

I’ve got more Citra than the others, and I’m usually careful about limiting Citra for late/whirlpool/dry hop as it can dominate, so I’m leaning towards using the Citra for boil (90 minutes)

Opinions?
