I think you are making the hop additions way to complicated IMO. Why not combine the 20/15, and the 10/5 minute additions. I really think the difference between adding 1 oz at 20 Mins instead of 0.5 at 20 and 15 min wont be noticeable in the final product. I could just be lazy though.

There is no 15 minute addition. There’s a 20, 10, 5 and flameout.

I brewed this two days ago. The boil smelled great. I’ll post back on here with the results when it’s ready.

Looks good. I would have dry hopped with Citra or both. Other than that… looks tasty!

So I ended up brewing this a few weeks ago. Last night I racked it to the secondary fermenter, and dry-hopped it with 1 oz of Centennials, and 1 oz of Citras.

Even without the dry-hops the aroma was amazing! The gravity sample tasted nice as well. I’m feeling good about this beer. I’ll keep you posted on the final results.
