I tried to run this through a free calculator but could't figure out how to get values based upon my actions. Basically i was trying to emulate some fancy hopping directions from an all grain recipe but couldn't (or didn't know how to)do it with my extract setup.

This was a 6.5g boil down to 5 in the fermenter it is all Citra at 12.5 AA

1oz Citra 12.5 AA Put in at 165ish while steeping specialty grains for 30min
(I was trying to emulate FWH)
1oz Citra 60 min
1oz Citra 15m
1.5 Citra 5m
1.5 Citra at 175 for 30m
2oz Dry Hop 7 days
 
Whole hops or pellet. And are you saying that you steeped hops with the grains? I'm not sure how you calculate that in.

Pellets.

And yes the hops were were put in the pot at 165 without a hop bag while steeping for 30min and stayed in the pot all the way through the boil.
 
I use the brewer's friend ibu calculator. It's pretty easy, but you need the projected OG. I'm not sure how you add the "steeping hops" but at least you'll be in the ballpark. I'm curious to know how this recipe turns out.
