If it were me, I'd take the 60,45, and 30 minute additions and bring them closer to the end of the boil. I like my late addition hops. However, I can't comment on this particular blend of hops. Seems to be all over the place (Regarding characteristics). But you never know.

Just make sure you've got enough bittering hops to get the IBUs you're looking for and add the late additions if you like the aroma and flavor (As I do).

As far as the corn sugar, are you trying for a very dry IIPA?

I think 14% corn sugar is too much for a beer. You should definitely drop that a bit.

Take a look at this:

im kinda cleaning up some of my left over hops but the summit and pacifica i havent used before they just sound interesting to me. as far as the corn sugar i am wanting it a little drier (just not overly sweet).

thanks for the help and any info

Does it need cara-pils?

just thought it would add some body and smooth mouth feel without adding color or much sweetness. Having said that I am open to suggestions as I am really new to recipe formulation. Ive been brewing for quite some time but not making my own recipes.
