How does this look for a Centennial IPA? It seems to be really similar to other Cenntennial Ipa's.

Looks decent from here. That seems like a lot of Vienna--does that bring a flavor you particularly like in IPAs? (I do like it, just wanted to verify that it's what you're shooting for.)

I'd suggest shifting some of the middle hop additions (30, 25, and 20 min, to be specific) and adding them to the later ones. I don't really find I get much hop flavor from 20-30 minute additions.
