I'm trying to use some leftover hops. I have 7lb of light DME and 1 lb crystal 20. The hops I have 3oz Citra, .5 Magnum, .5 Columbus, .5 Saaz, and .5 Tettnang. I'm not really sure how to combine these hops. Any Suggestions?
 
Look up a hops guide (google is your friend), and figure out which are best for bittering, flavoring and aroma. I would just have fun with the portions. Citra seems great for dry-hopping if you want to try that, as it has a need aroma profile.

This is me just making stuff up, so take with a grain of salt. To get some nice hoppiness, I would do a bittering with the Magnum and/or Columbus (depending on how bitter you like it, will be low to medium I figure), the Saaz for flavor, and then the Tettnang for aroma. Also find half a pound of another specialty grain if you can if you want to add a different depth to the ale. Others, enjoy a mildly hoppy amber!

In short, research the hops a little, is easy, and play with it.
 
theres a lot of options, it really depends what style of beer you want. IMO all of those hops work well late

1oz citra @ 60, 0, dry hop

magnum @60, saaz/tett @10, 0

columbus @60, saaz/tett @10,0, magnum dh

magnum @60, columbus @5

etc
