Hi,
I am formulating a recipe for Loose Cannon, a beer brewed by Heavy Seas. I looked at their website and found this:
Our flagship beer, Loose Cannon wins people over at first smell. The carefully cultivated interplay of Simcoe, Palisade, and Centennial creates a most fragrant IPAits nose bursts with notes of grapefruit, herbs, and pine. Bitterness is somewhat subdued by the floral quality that pervades the taste. The color is burnished gold, and the mouthfeel is creamy. A strong malt backbone balances out the triple-hopped beer. Its nickname, Hop3, comes from the brewing process: our brewers hop Loose Cannon in the boil, the hopback, and the fermenter. It won a second place CAMRA award at the 2010 Great British Beer Festival.
Style: American IPA
ABV: Approx. 7.25%
IBUs: 45
Availability: Year-round
Hops: Warrior, Simcoe, Palisade, Centennial
Malts: 2-Row, Caramalt, Munich

I formulated this, it isn't meant to be exact but a close approximation.
6 Gallons
78% Efficiency
13.5 lbs 2-Row
1 lb Crystal 40L
1 lb Munich
Mash at 150 for 90 minutes (I BIAB and 90 minutes is my standard mash procedure)
FWH .25 oz Centennial 9%AA
FWH .25 oz Simcoe 13%AA
FWH .25 oz Warrior 15%AA
60 min .25 oz Warrior 15%AA
10 min 1 oz Centennial 9%AA
10 min 1 oz Simcoe 13%AA
1 min 1 oz Centennial 9%AA
1 min 2 oz Palisades 9.5%AA
1 min .75 oz Simcoe 13%AA
DH 1 oz Centennial 9%AA
DH 1 oz Palisades 9.5%AA
Hopville puts this recipe at OG 1.074, FG 1.018 and IBU 61.4 (Tinseth). I need a bit of help formulating the hoping schedule/amounts. Any advice or help is much appreciated. This doesn't have to be exactly like loose cannon but something reasonably close. I am also open to thoughts on the grain bill. I happen to have these amounts of grain on hand but I can always run down to the LHBS.
This is my first time formulating a recipe and really just looking for a sanity check as well as advice.
Thanks all!
