IPA recipe. thoughts?

Kinda weird steeping grains, but it should work...just limit water with steeping grains < a gallon.

 

I'd sub out the Willamette for Columbus, but if you're adamant about the Wilamette then I'd suggest bumping it up to 2 oz.

 

my favourite yeast for ipa is good ole us05, cheap, easy to use and dam neutral

 

Just to be clear, you are looking at a partial mash here since you can't just "steep" 6 row and wheat malt. Which is what @GreenKrusty101 is hinting at.

With that said, why are you adding those grains? What do you hope to gain? Why the mix of LME and DME? Why that hop schedule?

 

6 row, Carapils, and white wheat won't add much color or flavor.

Especially useful in extract IPAs is a little sugar instead of the extra LME/DME/Carapils (to boost abv and lower FG)

 

Needs more crystal!

 

I'm pretty sure the extract has crystal in it already.

 

Those grains won't give you what you are looking for "flavor/color" and with the small quantities you have you probably won't even know they are there, so it is probably not worth a partial mash. I usually think of "west coast" as no crystal.

Do you have both the DME and LME already? If not, just go with light DME and hops.

Why Willamette here? I don't associate this hop with the flavors you described http://www.freshops.com/hops/variety_descriptions
How about bitter with Columbus, then 1/2 oz Chinook and the remainder of Columbus at 15 and 5 minutes then dryhop with the Simcoe. If you want, the Willamette at 0 min.

 

I would use table sugar, but limit to 1/2# for a 5 gal batch...add with 15 min left in boil along with the second 1/2 of your LME...forget the steeping/mashing grains...IMHO.
