Thoughts on my first original recipe (IPA)?

[vivalavince]

5 gallon batch

Grains:
7lbs extra light DME
1lbs caramel/crystal 60L

Hops:
1oz mosaic FWH
1oz mosaic 15min
1oz mosaic 10min
1oz mosaic 5min
1oz mosaic 1min
3oz mosaic 7 day dry hop

Yeast:
white labs california ale

Beersmith:
OG 1.062
IBUs 45.3
ABV 6.3%

Thoughts? Going for a tropical hop heavy style. Figured I go really simple for my first and go SMaSH(ish).

I'd add .3oz warrior for bittering to that. IBU's are a bit low for an IPA in my opinion.

Actually, I'd say those IBUs are a bit high for a 1.026 beer, although that number can't be right.

If it's 1062, then 45 IBUs is low.

My apologies, that was a typo. 1.062.

 

[vivalavince]

I could add .50oz warrior/magnum at 60min.

I think that's a mis-type, looks like the OG is 1.062. I would bump up your IBU's some for an IPA. I get overwhelming orange lifesaver from mosaic so I don't know that I'd choose it for a single hop beer but if you like it go for it.

edit: I guess these got merged. Didn't see the other responses before echoing the other points.
