Hop Schedule Question

[Radobrewer]

How does this hop schedule look for an APA I'm going to brew? Looking to get the most out of one ounce of Citra as possible (grapefruit).

1 oz Magmum @ 60
1 oz Cascade @ 15
1 oz Amarillo @ 5
1 oz Citra @ 0
2 oz Amarillo dry hop

Based in the below and my assumption of the alpha acid for these hops seems to me your ibu will be sky high...too much for a pale ale. The times are good I would just tweak the amour I each hop, especially the magnum at 60.

Looks pretty good... It will be a bit hoppier than a standard APA though, but then West Coast Pales are always a good bet!

I'm going for hoppy. Just curious if that was a good spot for the Citra, as I only have an ounce of it.

What are you trying to accomplish with the citra? Flameout additions are almost purely aroma.

 

[daveooph131]

I like citra at 10min gives good flavor and aroma.

 

[Radobrewer]

Going for most flavor and aroma from the Citra. I guess I'll put it in at 10 min and drop the flame-out addition.

That works. The Amarillo may dominate the aroma being at 5 and in the dry hop but you'll still get some from both the Cascade and Citra.
