Recipe critique

[Teufelhunde]

Planning to do my second ever original recipe in the next couple of days and looking for recipe critique/suggestions.

TIA for any input

It looks like the recipe is a 60 min boil with all the DME/LME at the start of the boil.

One thought would be a 30 min boil. To keep the estimated IBUs the same, add half the LME at the end of boil.

A full oz of Chinook for a 60 minute boil (for a 3 gal batch) is a lot more bitterness than most people like for this style. Some people like to add 10-15 IBUs at the start of the boil, some will get that from hops added at 5 or 10 min left in the boil. The last few Hazy IPAs that I made had their first hop addition at the 180F steep mark.

This is 5 gallons, so that bitterness should be diluted somewhat. I do like bitter beers, however.

A 30 min boil is a possibility, should maybe keep it a little lighter in color?

should maybe keep it a little lighter in color?

Published information suggests that a 45 min boil will add about 1° L to the color (Basic Brewing Radio Nov 17, 2005, @ timestamp 48:50 [link to MP3]).
