First time coming up with a recipe from scratch like this. i have read the other ipa/iipa recipe threads for inspiration and insight and now looking for some input of my own.

my goal with this recipe is something along the idea of dreadnaught or a double hoppin' frog ipa. i like a strong malt backbone and being able to taste the malt flavors. then for the hop flavors i would like hint at or keep clear of high citrus type hops.

3.5 gallon batch (mash tun too small for 5.5g large beers)

thinking the 154/156 mash with that much ibu would be interesting? not totally sure what to think really. i know i kind of want something over the top in hop flavors/aroma but with enough bitterness to play well with the nice malt semi-forward taste.

Chinook is piney, but also citrusy, just not to the extreme of cascades/centennial/etc... You could add more of your other hops, or sub something else. It depends what direction you want the beer to take.

Brewing a dreadnaught clone as I type. Throw some melanoidin in there. That provides the unique taste. My recipe calls for 18# 2 row and 1.5# melanoidin Your hop schedule looks great.
