Looks good, but I would drop the roasted barley. 54 IBUs is on the low end of IPAs also, I would add a 45 min or 30 min hop addition. Maybe 1 oz. cascade at 30 min. What yeast are you using?

Use more attenuative yeast, like Nottingham. It'll help get rid of some of that extract sweetness...

I would up my bittering, you can add more chinook if you want. I like to have a 45 or 30 minute addition in my IPAs. Personally, I think the Cali Ale is fine, but Nottingham works wells also.

I wouldn't double your bittering, but maybe 1.5 oz Chinook, or as Prof. Frink suggested, add another oz. somewhere for flavour to push it maybe to around 65-70IBU. 54 is well within the style, though. I agree that the roasted barley is out place. The toasted two-row, I understand, is something like biscuit malt, which I don't believe has to be mashed, but please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Cali Ale Yeast, WLP001, has the same source as US-05, so were I to go dry I'd go that route rather than Nottingham. Although I also just have something of a personal aversion to Nottingham from bad experiences.
