juicy bits recipe

My friend wants to try his hand at brewing a neipa after I recommended a few to him. He has a full setup, but hasn't brewed in a while and has only brewed some traditional german beers and ales. He knows I am interested in brewing and invited me to brew this weekend, provided that I find the recipe as he doesn't know where to start. Was thinking juicy bits would be a good start as local HB stores are more likely to have citra, mosaic, and el dorado as opposed to sabro, azacca, and the other new hotness hops. It looks relatively straightforward, and I was planning to simplify it by not trying to correct water. Thoughts?

also, I think I heard that dextrins aren't totally necessary as most of the haze comes from the other adjuncts and less flocculant yeasts. Think I am okay to omit it? any other ways I can shrink the margin for error? Like I said he has not had a bunch of neipas, wants to give them a try, and will be happy with whatever we come up with. Seems like less is more me having never brewed and him being rusty/unfamiliar with neipa. Thanks
