Awesome. Thanks for the information everybody. I'm going to rework this thing. I'm glad I asked...

Ok so I need to choose a bittering hop. I also have some Mosaic with 11 aa that I could use. I originally used Galaxy because it has 14.9 aa. Most of the hops are dual purpose. I would prefer the hop flavor to be noticeable.

Maybe something like this 1oz Nelson Sauvin first wort hop .5 oz Galaxy 60 min 2 oz Amarillo 10 min 2 oz Nelson Sauvin 5 min 2 oz Amarillo flameout I will probably double my dry hops and I'm not sure if Galaxy works at 60 min...and I may need more hops still. Closer to what one may expect?

I usually do a 60 min boil. Would I need to add any early bittering hops if I moved to Amarillo to flameout?

I am planning to brew an Imperial IPA soon and I wanted to get creative with the recipe. I put this recipe together based on some common practices with the style. My biggest concern is the hops schedule. This is where I have little experience in. I am open to all suggestions. 5 Gallons OG...
