My first crack at formulating an IPA

So I'm pretty set on the grain bill. I'm not 100% on the hop additions. Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm going to brew this weekend.
Thanks for looking.

That looks great for a pale ale. If you want IPA jack up the finishing hops maybe another Ounce of willi and cascade. Overall though excellent first attempt IMO.

I like the grain bill but I would bump the IBU's up a bit. The 60 min additions seem solid but I may think about adding another later addition maybe @ 15. I am a huge advocate of late hopping. I see cenntenial in the dry hop, what about adding some to the boil? The higher AA% would boost some IBUs too.

The centennial is leftover from my last batch. I have plenty of Cascade and Willamette.

I would really back off the crystal a little bit. I think 8oz max. I just don't think cara blends well with IPAs. if you want the color, add less of a darker crystal. Even if you add less than 8oz of some of the darker caras it will lend little flavor.

I know it's personal choice, but I like my IPA at about 60 IBU min. I like that bitter kick at the end of the taste. I like that totally clear uncomplicated easy crisp taste, then bam, the bitterness hits. I will be brewing a 100 IBU IPA this fall to see how bitter that is.

I agree, an IPA could stand more IBU. At least 1:1 IBU:OG IMO. I think this could also benefit from more dry hops (Cascade) if you do up the IBU.

I agree with everyone else. I say if you bump up the late additions by even .25oz for each hop, it will really add that extra that makes an IPA. Maybe one more oz at dry hop, but personally I enjoy the really big hop nose. Regardless of what I think, by looking at it I can tell it will be a fine beer.

I would also back down on the crystal.

I think I'm going to go with this:

10# 2-Row
1# Munich
.5# Crystal 40
.5# Wheat

1oz Cascade 5.4AA @ 60
1oz Willamette 4.8AA @60
1oz Cascade 5.4AA @10
1oz Willamette 4.8AA @10
1oz Cascade 5.4AA @0
1oz Willamette 4.8AA @0
1oz Cascade DryHop
.5oz Willamette DryHop
.5oz Centennial Dryhop
