Let me know what u think I was going an IPA that has a good malt character.

Looks pretty solid, never used aromatic or carastan though. I achieve my malt character with crystal malts. My Citra IPA is very similar and prety much the same HOP schedule. Good job.

I have used SA-05 dry yeast in my IPA's with much success. Might be cheaper.

Yea I originally had crystal malt in there for carastan but thought why not. Also I just did an IPA with the same hops but different schedule and it turned out great but it was not my recipe.
