I am attempting to clone Great Lakes Chillwave IIPA but as an APA. I'm using the same ingredients that Great Lakes lists. This will be my 2nd batch ever and my first recipe design.

I am open to any advice on my recipe - especially if you have had Chillwave before. At the very least, I'm trying to strike the same balance of sweet maltiness with the signature hop flavors of Mosaic and Cascade.

Description of Chillwave from GLBC:
"Earthy tropical Mosaic hops ride frontside here, followed by a deft cutback of sweet honey malt."

FERMENTABLES:
4 lb - DME Golden Light (48.1%)
3 lb - DME Pilsen Light (36.1%)

STEEPING GRAINS:
