    This is my first IPA and my first all-grain. I took the grain schedule from an Avery IPA clone (added the wheat) and built the hops schedule based on what I have. I also have kent golding and willamette. I am open to suggestions, but I am warming the MLT now. So, some suggestions may be too late :). Let me know what you think.

    The only thing that I might do in this instance is replace the wheat with an equal quantity of CaraPils, but otherwise it seems solid.

    I personally like all late hop additions. You'll get enough bitterness out of the 1oz. of columbus @ 60.

    .5 oz. columbus @ 20
    1 oz. of cascade @ 10 or even 5
    1 oz. of cascade @ 0

    good on the dry hops!

    I think the less additions you have the better you'll be on your first all grain.
