An easier way to determine a tritone is to have a look at
the cycle of fifths (I hope it'll get through correctly):

               C
         F     |     G
       Bb      |       D
     Eb -------+------- A
       Ab      |       E
         Db    Gb    B
               F#

As you can see, F and B are on opposite sites (11 and 5
o'clock respectively), so you've got a tritone there.
