This is my first brew of all grain. Getting some great aroma, but the flavor is a little more thin than id like... Anyway, any critiques of the recipe would be great.

I am not really a fan of citra additions anytime before 5 min. Not sure why but I just find it to be harsh.

I've definitely been liking the Amarillo more in the longer boil.
