15.7 oz of hops!!!! Come on!!!! Put in the last 0.3 oz to get the pound or else what's the point!!! :D
 
Looks pretty good, maybe a little extra fruity. I have found I like a little more bittering in my DIPAs. I get about 80 IBUs in the 90-30 min slots, theoretical looks like 140 total IBUs or so. I also would take out the Munich and make up the gravity with 2-row. Also consider splitting the dry hop in half and doing two 4 day dry hops instead of a full week. I do this in the keg, keeps out the O2 and lets those hops shine. Good luck!
 
Got to go with 1.0 ozs Magnum. Anything under a pound is just an IPA!

Looks good.
