Citra IPA recipe critique/suggestion?

[Pyg]

After 1.5 weeks in bottle I opened one, it had the beginning of bottle infection.
Turned out really tasty.
Nice bitterness, great aroma.
It was not as dark as I thought, guess I did not burn the malt, but it had a reddish color (more on the brownish spectrum of red)

On my LHBS advice I passed on cold crashing.
Turned out a little hazier than other batches but drinkable far out weighs appearance!View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1463695143.148665.jpg

Looks good. Why did you say it was the beginning of a bottle infection?

I know this is late but I am also a big fan of late addition hops. I usually only use Magnum for bittering but will try warrior. IMO anything about 15 min is a waste of hops.

Tough to see but one bottle had a ring around the peak, also a few patches in the neck.

This was my first late hop addition, and I am blow away by what it offers.
I have another IPA in planning that will late addition Simcoe/Amarillo/centennial

It sounds like a great success overall! With any luck any potential infection issues are limited to the few bottles. And, you made no mention of an off taste so start enjoying them.
