Nameless IPA

I'm trying out a recipe for an IPA after 3 dry months. My Wittwarrior only lasted about 2 weeks as most of the batch was taken to a party. I haven't even had a beer in over a month. Back to the IPA. I'm using 12.5 lbs of American 2-row, .5 10 Crystal, .5 20 Crystal, .5 carapils, 1 oz Chinook, 1 oz Centennial, 2 oz Cascade, 2 oz bitter orange peel.
The Chinooks and Centennial hops are added together at the start of the boil. one ounce of cascades are added with 30 minutes left along with 1 oz of bitter orange peel. Then, .5 oz cascades added at 20 minutes left. Then irish moss at 15 minutes left and finally, at 5 minutes I add the final .5 oz cascades along with 1 oz bitter orange peel.
