Brewing theKama Citra from northern brewers. Recipe sheet calls for 0.5 ounce centennial hops. Centennial hops package says 1 oz do I add only half,or add the whole package? Sure it's a dumb question but why send me 1 oz when I only need 0.5? And if I'm only supposed to add 0.5 how precise do I need to be?

If the addition is early in the boil (e.g., 60 minutes from the end), you should be exact. If it's in the last 20 minutes of the boil, throw all the hops you can in that sucker. For sure, if you have any hops left at the end of the boil, get them in there. It'll add to aroma and flavor.
Yessir. With any recipe I'm given (food/beer), I try hard to stick with the recipe as written the first time. However, definately throw the other half ounce in at the very end. Or drop in fermentor near the end of fermentation for dryhop aroma.

If you want to stick to the recipe you now have an extra .5oz of hops for another brew day. Vacuum seal it if you can and then put it in the freezer! The hop bill is already pretty good so I would stick to recipe
