Here is what I've put into beer smith for imperial IPA so far.

12.3 oz brown malt
1.5 oz crystal malt 20L
1 lb .2 oz mold malt
7 lbs 14.8 oz Munich malt
7 lbs 13.3 oz pale malt 2 row
1.07 oz cascade boil 30 mins
1.07 oz challenger boil 30 mins
1.07 oz centennial boil 60 mins
1.07 oz pilot boil 60 mins

Never used Vanilla in an IPA before, but I used 3 split beans (soaked in vodka for ~3 weeks) in an Imp stout before... let it sit in secondary (poured the beans and vodka in) for about 2 months and the vanilla honestly didn't come through much. Apparently it shows through more with age so I'm hopeful it'll start to come out.. It' been in bottle sfor about three months now.

Good luck.
