Ok so I am going to brew the following on Saturday or Sunday. My grain bill is pretty much set (although the specialty grains could be adjusted). I had planned on following a hop schedule similar to the Zombie Dust clones on this board, but also have other stuff in the fridge that I could use to save some of the Citra that I would use if I stayed the course. I am hoping for a citrus forward and fruity pale ale.


5lbs Extra Light DME
2lbs Marris Otter (Crisp)
1lbs Munich LIght
1/2lbs Crystal 60
1/2lbs CaraFoam
1 package Safale S-04

Original Hop Schedule
1oz Citra FWH
1oz Citra 15 minutes
1oz Citra 10 minutes
1oz Citra 5 minutes
1oz Citra Flameout
3oz Citra Dry Hop

In the freezer (8oz Citra, 3oz Cascade, 1oz Magnum, 1oz Amarillo)

Any opinions?
 
That hop schedule looks good to me...except I wouldn't waste Citras for bittering. Just sub magnum instead. I have made a Citra pale ale a few times and it is always a big hit.
