Personally I would double the flameout and dry hop additions but that just my personal taste. Seems like your going for more of the mango flavor/aroma with the hops behind it?

That citra is going to power over the comet in my opinion,

but that hop timing looks good.

I am attempting a barrelhouse brewing mango ipa. It was 6.2 percent with 45 ibus lots of mango upfront with some citrus following but not sweet at all. I have never used comet before but everything I read say they are incredibly powerful as dry hops and lots of grapefruit peel

I just recently made a pale ale using Vic Secret hops (all pacifica in boil and 2.75oz vic secret in dry ho ponly), and it had soooo much mango smell and tropical fruit flavor, I think if I was going to target the mango for an IPA, the vic secret would be in there as a dry hop for sure!

I would love to use Vic secret but I just placed my hop order and that unfortunately was not on it. But it will be on the next one
