I know the question might seem kind of ridiculous, but I'm doing research for an IPA, using only Citra hops with the hops of a huge citra aroma and flavor. Is anything over an ounce of hops, for a 5 gallon batch, too much at around 20-15 minutes? When do you get to the point where you really just can't smell and taste it anymore? Currently I was thinking:
1oz @ 60
1oz @ 20
1oz @ 15
1oz @ 1
3oz @ 7 Days (Dry Hop)
Do I really need the 1 oz. at 1 minute when I'm dry hopping it? And are my times at 20 and 15 enough to get a great flavor out of it? Or should I load up at just 15? As far as grain goes, I was thinking pretty simple. 14lb of 2-Row and 8oz. of Carapils.
