Brewing a RIS tomorrow and looking to get some legs from the grains after the initial batch is going. I didn't bump the grain bill up, because it's already at 22lb and it's going to bump up against our mashing capacities.
Planning to sparge until we either run out of room or it drops below 1.010 and boil the wort down to about a 1.035 beer. How would you hop a small beer from this grain bill? I have citra, cascade, magnum and Mt. Hood hops on hand.
Brewing Jamil's RIS as seen here:

and scaled up to 6 gallons here:

Pitching WLP001 from a massive starter.
