November IPA : Opinions please

[ABeerZale]

Second time out for our AG IPA. How does this look ?
GRAIN BILL
5kg Pale Malt
350 g Caramel Malt 45 L
250 Crystal 60 L
250 Crystal 30 L
50 g Crystal 20L
Mash at 66° for 1hr

1 hour Boil
HOPS SCHEDULE

60 min 30g Chinook or Centennial ( how much difference will one or the other make?)
15 min 21 g Amarillo
15 min 14 g Cascade
15 min 14 g Citra
5 min 14 g Citra
5 min 16 g Amarillo
5 min 14 g Cascade

Using Safale US 05


Dry Hop

16 g Cascade ( 4 - 7 days ) Again, here am I right in thinking the longer it's in the hoppier aroma the final beer will have?
28 g Citra As above.

So is this recipe way out or am I good to go? All opinions greatly appreciated.

Well 50g of c-20 won't really show much flavor and it depends on your taste for the amount of other crystal malts, in my opinion that beer would turn out much too sweet for me. I would stick with one 250g dose of crystal but that's because I don't like very sweet IPA's.

The hops schedule looks pretty good! I would double your amount of dry hops and keep them in for one week. Any more and you're risking getting some grassy flavors from the hops being in there too long.

A - That seems like a lot of Crystal/Caramel malts.

B - Why the weird numbers with the Amarillo? Are you trying to use up what you've got? Why not even the Amarillo boil additions out with the Cascade and Citra and then toss the leftover in with the dry hop?

 

[ABeerZale]

Ok so I should cut back on the crystal malt, it was all a bit rushed, I'll give it more time tomorrow.

As for the odd hop numbers, yes, I'm using up leftovers, I'll bear in mind what you said, maybe try and even things out.

Will using Chinook or Centennial make any noticeable difference?

In my opinion centennial provides a cleaner bitterness than chinook, but I've used both.
