So I am currently brewing a Summer Ale, I think. I kind of made up my own recipe, and I would like some input.

Grain Bill:
4.5# American 2-row Pale
1.5# Carmel/Crystal Malt-20L
1.0# Vienna Malt
1.0# Wheat Malt
2oz English Brown Malt

Mashed at 154ish for 60 min

Hop Additions:
0.5oz Citra (60 min)
0.5oz Amarillo (60 min)
0.5oz Citra (15 min)
0.5oz Amarillo (15 min)

then I am going to take the garnishing's from 3 limes, and add them to flameout.

I am using WYEAST 1010 American WHT

This is a recipe that I randomly put together while at a LHBS, so I have no idea if this will work for what I want or not. I am currently 20 minutes into the mash, and was wondering if anybody had some suggestions, thoughts, experiences, ideas? Thank you very much!
 
Looks good, but I suggest adding a pound of base grain and reducing the 60 minute hop addition on the citra by half.

My favourite summer ale, and I'm having a pint now too, is:

8# 2-row
1/2# Vienna
1/2# crystal 60

mash for 60 min @150F
sparge for 15 min @163F

1/2oz galena @65 min
1/2oz fuggle @15 min
whirlfloc @13min
1/2oz fuggle @1 min

yeast: S-04
 
Thanks for the respond. I didn't get it in time. But I did change it to .4 oz at 60 min, and .6 oz at 5 min. To make it a little less hoppy, since it is a summer beer. Thanks for the advice!
