First AG recipe - Please critique

[JBlade]

Hey fellow brewers. I have done 5 extract recipe kits and have decided to take the plunge into all grain. I scoured a lot of 'clone' recipes and assembled this recipe from a combo of different beers I like. Let me know what you think!

5 Gallon batch
IPA

11 lbs Pale Malt (2 row)
1 lbs Caramel 40L
.5 lb Victory Malt
.5 lb Simpsons Golden Naked Oat

1.0 oz. Centennial (60 mins)
1.0 oz. Centennial (20 mins)
1.0 oz. Citra (5 mins.)
1.0 oz. Citra (1 minute/Flameout)
2.0 oz. Citra (dry hop - 7 days)

Wyeast American Ale II (1272)


Thanks guys!

Looks good to me. Althothough I woud go with less Crystal, maybe 0.5#. Since you picked an IPA to be your first AG, make sure to have some DMA ready just in case if the OG is too low.

Why do you have that oat? I think the recipe looks fine without that.

I had seen it used in another IPA recipe, read Midwests' profile on it and thought it sounded interesting.
