Which castle/chateau malt (since 'chateau' translates to castle)?
Which caramel malt (lovibond)?

It looks like a good yeast choice to give neutral belgian characterisitcs (you'll get some without being too heavy with them).

I think the Mt Hood hops might not give enough hop presense for an IPA (IMO), but then again you're trying to balance with orange peel. BTW, 2 oz of orange might be too much orange. Overall, it could work out nice or not so nice. You are looking at balancing several unique flavors - orange, hops, belgian yeast, maltiness.

Thanks for your input stpug!

I like your changes. And, just so you know, just because I might brew a different recipe doesn't mean I wouldn't drink the sh*t out of yours!!
