IPA/APA - Give your .02 on my first custom!

After being on a brewing hiatus due to lack of funds (poor college student ), I am finally nearing my anxiously awaited next brew day. With the time I've had to think about what to do, I've decided to make my first attempt at a %100 custom recipe (I usually take someone's on this site and tweak it to my liking). In preparation for the fall and football season (Go longhorns! :rockin I found myself craving for a nice slightly-over-hopped-pretty-much-a-modest-ipa-pale-ale. (at least modest for a hop head like me!)

I am going for a nice slightly toasty & biscuity with a hint of sweetness malt base with a smooth and mellow hop bitterness, and packed to the brim with citrus flavor and aroma.

So all ye fellow homebrewers, lend me your opinions and recommendations!

Whirlfloc 15min

Maybe, if I can afford it: Cascade (Pellet) 1oz Dry in secondary
Amarillo (Pellet) 1oz Dry in secondary

If you can't afford the dry-hops, I would cut out something in the 20-10min range and make sure that you dry-hop it with at least 1.5 oz.

Looks good. I like the honey malt in there. Maybe drop the carapils to .5lb.

I would cut the victory to .5lb(could be too biscuity along with the Vienna), take your 20 min addition and use that to dry hop (will also cut back your IBUs a touch as 80+ might be over the top), and take your 10min amarillo and add it to your 1min addition (big hop character at the end of the boil)

Personally, I like my IPAs to be over 6% abv when IBUs are high. I bet the honey and victory malt will help balance it out, but at 80+ IBUs, you may want to consider upping the alcohol a bit. Though 5.8% isn't bad, just a thought.

take your 20 minute addition to 10 mins, your 15 min addition to 5 mins, your 10 min to 1 min, and your 1 min to flameout/whirlpool. and you gotta do the dry hop.

this should emphasize big flavor and aroma.
