Recipe for that Citra Pale? Trying to get my hands on a pound of Citra in a couple of days.

Better late than never. Went over today to keg and remembered to pick up the recipe sheet:
Mini mash:
1/2 lb Crystal 75L Malt
2 Lb 2-Row Malt
1/2 Lb Munich Malt
1/2 Lb Cara Pils Malt
You know the drill...155 deg for 45 min then sparge with 170 deg water. Approx 1 qt of sparge water for every 2 Lb of grain
5 Lb of Extra Pale ALe Extract
Bittering hops 1 oz Citra 60 min
Flavor hops 1 oz Citra 15 min
Aroma hops 1 oz Citra 5 min
White Labs California Ale V 051 or Weast American AleII (I use WL)
Final Gravity should be appx 1.013
I dry hop after the primary in the keg with another 1 oz of Citra. This time one keg had the pellet Citra the other had 1 oz of whole leaf Simco hops. We will see what a difference it makes ;o). One thing is for sure the whole leaf hops float like a mother....I thought I used enough marbles to weig them down but it was only enough to make the hop bag look like a bobber lmao.
