I'd move most of those boil hops to the hop stand.

What unofficial ipa subcategory are you shooting for with this recipe? It doesn’t look full on neipa, newer juicy west coast ipa?

 

[JunctionPoint]

More of a west coast IPA.

That's helpful. Do you have a commercial beer in mind as a reference point?
Your hop additions make more sense when you specify leaning west coast, though I think you could consolidate some of your hop additions into something like 60', 10' and flameout. Your grain bill looks familiar, inspired by Bell's Two Hearted?

That's correct grain bill is nearly identical to two two hearted but I wanted more a west coast that packed a punch of tropical/sweet fruit.
Still may play around with grain bill.

Got a more neutral bittering hop for the 60’ addition? Seems like a waste of those fancy hops at that early in the boil. If you have any magnum or warrior for the 60’, then making all your 20’ additions 1oz sounds good to me.

Not 100% sure what you’re looking for, but here’s a recipe of a local favorite that sounds similar to what you have described.

You might find this interesting regarding timing of hop additions. Maybe move the 20 minute additions later to 5 minute of flame out?

According to quite recent detailed research conducted by Professor Christopher S. Hamilton, Ph.D at Hillsdale College, in conjunction with his students, pellet hops essentially deliver all of the IBU's that they are ever going to deliver within only about 30 minutes, and they are at about 90% of achieving this end by 20 minutes. And they are about 70%-75% of the way there in only 5-10 minutes. And get this, they are ballpark 60% of the way home within as little as 1 minute. His research renders all current IBU calculators totally useless when dealing with pellet hops.

The research was initially presented at the EBC Hop Symposium in Nuremberg, Germany, in September of 2018:

Thanks for this! If it's true then it's a game changer!

Use Magnum for bittering . Its a great bittering hop. I agree about moving your 20 min as well. 60 , 5 and FO
