Inspired by Stone's Cali-Belgique I would like to brew 10 gallons of IPA, fermenting half with Belgian yeast and half with American Ale. After a little research here's what I've come up with. I welcome any suggestions.

22# American 2-row
2# Crystal 20
1# Crystal 10
4# Extra-Light DME (I want to make it around 1.070 probably @ max capacity for my MLT)
3.5 oz. Columbus @ 60
3 oz. Centennial @10
3 oz. Centennial @5
4 oz. Centennial @Flameout

2 oz. Chinook 10 Days (Probably do 1 oz. whole leaf in each keg.)

Split batch with Wyeast 1388 & 1056 or 1187.

Using calculations from Brewpal I have:

OG- 1.072
FG- 1.017
ABV- 7.1%
IBU- 79
 
Sounds tasty, although I would swap out 1.5-2 lbs of the DME for table sugar to help the beer dry out. I might also back down on the crystal, not a common ingredient in west coast IPAs or Belgians. Otherwise looks good, enjoy.
