uhhm...

- 50/40 min additions are quite pointless, they just bitter but you dont get full efficiency out of them. instead use a single 60 min addition (or single FWH) for the majority of your and don't add anything else until at least 30 minutes, I would go 20 mins myself.

- your 20 min and 15 min aroma steep hops? they will add IBUs if added at that point, or are these meant to be 0 min? either way, you will want to add some more hops around the 10 - 0 minute mark for the aroma and flavour of the hop to come through in the beer.

- anywhere up to 100g dry hops is usual for very hoppy IPA type beers. 50 is a good amount for a palatable flavour imo...

hope that helps!
