Critique on Simcoe/Citra Hoppy IPA (with a couple ideas from Pliny clone)

[mikewildt]

Want to know what you guys think of this recipe? I'm going for a crisp, hoppy IPA with Simcoe/Citra hops, and a couple ideas taken from a Pliny clone (just because).

5 Gallon Batch. Est OG of 1.069 and Est FG of 1.013
Est ABV of 7.4%

9lbs Pale Extract
1lb dextrose
.5 lb Carapils
.5 lb C40
1 oz Columbus or Warrior (or 25ml extract) @ 90min
.2 oz Columbus or Warrior (or 10ml extract) @ 45min
1 oz simcoe @30min
.5 oz citra @30 min
1 tsp irish moss @10
2 oz simcoe @ 0 min
.5 oz citra @ 0 min

DRY HOP during secondary
1 oz Centennial
1 oz simcoe
1 oz columbus

Wondering thoughts on hops, hop schedule, and specialty grains? Thanks in advance!

-Mike

My iPa recipe is Magnum for bittering and even amounts of Simcoe citra galaxy at 15 and flame out. Its really good. But I also don't think pliny is all that either.

Might adjust the dry hop a little too, but will prob be a 7-10 day period.
