Why not?...
Every calculator I used yielded between 5.6 and 5.7 for 2.75 volumes at 70F

I could be wrong, but I believe you are supposed to use the ferment temperature.
Question about the FWH addition: if I plug this recipe into Beersmith I seem to end up with a whopping 92.5 IBU, and my FWH contributes 41.8 to the total. I come closer to 65 IBU if I treat the FWH addition as a 20 minute addition, as mentioned somewhere in this thread. Is the difference between calculated bitterness and perceived bitterness from FWH really this huge? Or is Beersmith wrong?
Since there's been no complaints about bitterness in this thread, I assume I can safely brew this without ending up with something completely unbalanced, I'm just a bit confused about the IBU difference and I need some reassurance I plan on brewing this tomorrow.
I guess no C02 comes of solution when moving fermenters, conditioning phase, adding dry hops, transfer to the secondary, transfer to bottling bucket, stirring in priming sugar, transferring to bottle.... learn something new every day I guess

Okay, so how close is this to the real thing? I've only seen 2-3 people in the thread comment on it.

Ive drank many cases of the real deal and a few kegs of this. If you brew it AG and know what you are doing its close enough to quench my zombie dust thirst.
I did pretty much a Belma version of this and have been really disappointed with how little hops flavor I get from that hop. Ended up adding some Cascade to the keg to brighten up the aroma a bit.
So I plan on brewing this up Friday - I just put it in beer smith and the ibus only came out to the low 40s. I'm really new to this program so maybe I put something in wrong but pretty sure I put in a total of 8 oz citra. Any reason why this would occur?
002 or s-04
002 is the White Labs sub for Wyeast 1968 (according to RebelBrewer) - I personally like the smack packs of Wyeast lately, they've been very good to me, reducing the number of starters I have to make.
I just bottled my partial mash version and its awesome, even flat. I went from 1.072 to 1.018 with s-04. I did add maybe 4oz of corn sugar late in the boil to help dry it out. I kept temps below 63 for two weeks, brought it up to around 68 for a 10 day dry hop, and then dropped temps to around 45 for three days before getting it into bottles. Can't wait!
