I working on my first recipe to brew as my third batch. I am trying to make an IPA with a huge grapefruit/citrus flavor. I am looking for lots of hop aroma basically. Here is what I have right now. I think it is probably overly complex so let me know.
Briess Pilsen Extra Light Liquid Extract 6 lbs, 0 oz
Briess 2 Row Caramel 10 1 lbs, 0 oz
Briess Victory 0 lbs, 8 oz
Cascade Pellets 2 oz @ 60 mins
Amarillo Pellets .5 oz @ 30 mins
Cascade Pellets .5 oz @ 30 mins

Amarillo Pellets 2 oz @ Dry
Cascade Pellets 2 oz @ Dry
White Labs California Ale
60IBU
1.053 SG
5.78 SRM
Should I change the malt around a bit or use different steeped grains? The total hops come out to 10oz, all pellet. Should I move those into more hops at later additions and simplify or does doing a spread out schedule even out flavors more? Less dry hop? I am wondering if I should add an extra pound of extract or more grain to kick up the SG a bit for balance. Thanks for any help!
