I really enjoy my IPA with Citra hops. I have done some minimal dry-hopping which gives me a great citrus flavor and aroma, in addition to adding cascade and citra to the boil. I have no aversion to dry-hopping, but am still working to get my arms around all the facets of brewing and how they affect the outcome. Can you get similar results to dry-hopping by adding that additional 1 oz of Citra near the end of the boil or are we talking apples and oranges, so to speak? Thanks.

This is a partial grain extract 5 gallon recipe

.5 lb Belgian Aromatic Malt 15-30 Minutes @ 155F

"60 Minute Boil"

1 lb Gold DME & 1 lb Wheat DME, 1 oz Warrior & 1 oz Cascade hops, boil 45 minutes,then add...

6 lb Gold LME, boil for 10 minutes, then add...

1 oz Citra hops boil for 5 minutes

Liquid American Ale II Wyeast

1 oz Citra dry hopping 5 days prior to bottling

Should I add extra hops in the boil vs dry-hopping?
