IPA Recipe help

[afio18]

I have decided that I would try to come up with a IPA Recipe. I would like some input on it.

Grain Bill:
1/2lb Carapils (steeped)
1/2lb Carmel 60L (steeped)

6lb Light LME
1lb Light DME
1 or 2 lb Corn Sugar

Hops:
.5 Horizon (60)
1 oz Amarillo (20)
1 oz Citra (20 or 15)
1 oz Amarillo (flame out)
1 oz Citra (Dry in secondary)


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd keep it all DME if I were you. Light as you can get. I never liked LME when I brewed extract... better flavor with dry. Plus, more ppg, so stronger beer.

Oh, and I hope you get bitter enough with the horizon... maybe 1 oz? I haven't used it, I don't think, so I don't know the AA off hand...

I have Horizon at 12.50 AA. I was worried that the .5 oz would not be enough.

Yeah, if you just have .5 oz to work with, you could add half your extract with about 20 min left in the boil... That would increase your hop utilization.

If it were me, I'd do at least one if not two oz bittering. Maybe 1.5...

Also, I'd just do both flavor additions at 15. The. You've got your flame out and your dry still. Looks like a tasty recipe!
