Citra Crawl IPA

[brew]

So the Crawl in the Woods IPA was wonderful, and gone... along the same grain bill I'd like to make more, but have only an oz of Simcoe left, so am going to substitute Citra instead (and have increased the IBU's). I have three questions though:

1) Does Citra go with Centennial? (additions at 15, 10 and 5 are half Citra half Centennial - this worked great when I used Simcoe)

2) Does anyone have an extra ounce of Citra I could borrow or trade? I'd like to dry hop with Citra as well... (currently I only have 1 oz Citra for dry hop in 10G and would like to use 2).

3) What if instead I dry hopped with Comet? I wonder if that would reduce the effect of the Citra additions? Maybe best to stick with dry-hopping Citra...

I have some citra if you need it.

I have had good luck with Comet dry hopping, I have some of that also.

Interesting Brew, I just made a batch of Citra IPA as well.  I've never used citra in this quantity so I'm very curious as to how it will turn out.
I used citra, amarillo, and palisade.  I also dry hopped with Citra.

Sound nice - is it ready? Maybe try some at the meeting this Saturday?

It might just be ready by this weekend, but if it is, it will be a bit green....
