Citra, Amarillo & Simcoe
FirstStateBrewer:
I plan to brew an Imperial IPA tomorrow. Here's a link to the recipe.

I want to use Citra, Amarillo & Simcoe in the brew. However, I've never used Citra or Simcoe, so I don't know how much or when to add them. I just took a guess when I created my recipe. Does anyone think I need to change my hops schedule? I could substitute with Cascade, if you think that would work better. The last thing I want is a beer that tastes like cat piss! LOL!
Also, what should I dry hop with?
Your opinions will be appreciated! :)

I've used Simcoe a few times and haven't gotten any cat piss taste. Maybe I just don't pick it up. I have never added it before 15 min though. If you are worried drop the 40 min addition and increase the bittering addition.
rightasrain:
I have had really good results dry hopping with Citra. That and Amarillo are good dry hoppers in my opinion.

You're doing it wrong. All Nelson, all the time. ;)

I'm making an 'express IPA' Sunday with the same combination. I haven't finalized the hop bill yet but I'm leaning towards bittering primarily with the Simcoe, late additions of Amarillo and Cirtra and dry hopping with equal amounts of each.
