Hey everyone, (sorry if this post is in the wrong forum)I am pretty new to home brewing, but I have decided to try and create a IPA(maybe IIPA) recipe use malt extract. Let me know what you all think. This is for a 5 gallon batch. I am going for a clean west coast style IPA. I do not want it to get too syrupy and sweet, but I am also concerned about it not being balanced.

Malt:
9 lbs. Light LME

Grain:
1.5 lbs. Crystal 40L
0.5 lbs. Carapils

Yeast:
Wyeast American Ale Yeast

Hops:
0.5 oz. Columbus (60min)
0.5 oz. Centennial (60min)
0.25 oz. Simcoe (30min)
0.25 oz. Citra (30min)
1.0 oz. Amarillo (0min)
0.5 oz. Amarillo (DH)
0.5 oz. Simcoe (DH)

This may be way too many different varities of hops, but just let me know.

Thanks in advance
 
Looks pretty good, although you could ditch the carapils.

you should get plenty of body and head retention with your crystal 40.

I would also change your 30 minute hop additions to 15 or later....
