Bin End IPA

[Sadtenchez]

Hi
I am trying to use up left over hops to make an American style IPA. I have plenty of pale malt and a variety of crystal and other malts (mild, Vienna, Munich)
For a 23 litre brew about 5.5% ABV.
I have 40 g each of Simcoe 14% and Mosaic 12%
and 25 g each of Citra 13.7% and Chinook 9%.
I was thinking of:
4.7kg Pale malt.
0.5kg. Crystal malt (120EBC)
At the start of the 60 min boil
25g Simcoe
15 mins from end 12g each Citra & Chinook
Flame out 12g Citra & Chinook
10g Simcoe
I know I'm not using the Mosaic...
Any thoughts?

Nothing wrong with your choices but I would personally use the 25g Chinook for bittering (about 30 IBUs) and use the 40g Mosaic + 40g Simcoe for flavouring, maybe split half and half in late addition and flameout.

Use the Citra for a tasty SMaSH.
