So, I am looking to do a brew with some of the existing 5 oz of citra I have in the freezer. Thought maybe a SMaSH is in order. 14lbs of Marris Otter, and hopbursting 2.5 oz of Citra from 20 minutes on to flameout. I would like to shoot for a citrusy sweet beer.
Rough calc in beersmith says I would be at 32 IBUs if I did .5 from 20 mins to flameout, in 5 minute increments. (I know that's not a burst but I don't know how better to calc it)
In my experience, the Citra doesn't make for a good bittering 60 minute hop, it's a bit overpowering. It also seems to pack more punch than the 14 AA would suggest.
What say you, regarding my target profile and the use of all late addition Citra?
