Drop the c-20 to one pound. Sugar to me says double IPA. If you want to keep it, use half a pound. Hops look good.

I feel like I'm picking on you- but I"m not, I swear!

That recipe is not a bad start, but it's got way too much crystal. I'd cut it down to .5 pound for my taste, but you could go as high as a pound if you love sweeter IPAs.

I don't like warrior as a dryhop, as I'm not wild about the flavor but I love it as a bittering hop. I'd probably reverse the columbus and warrior, or use the warrior for bittering and use the columbus someplace else and use the amarillo for dryhopping.

I was using the sugar to up the alcohol a bit, to give it a bit more heat to go along with the bitter. Does that even make brewing sense? But yeah, I was worried a bit about the crystal.

Well Warrior was an experiment anyway, and I've run beer through randalled Columbus many times, so I could definitely see that switch working. Need to see the IBU switch that will occur though. Crystal will be cut; it honestly just helps to hit the coloring for BJCP and up the alcohol and body a bit. I could use Victory, as I have that now as well.
