This is the first recipe I was thinking about trying out of my own, would like any feedback on whether or not this sounds good. Would a dry hop of some Chinook be good as well or try and leave alone? I will most likely try it in about 2 weeks so any tweeks can be arranged by then thanks.

Two pounds of victory malt is too much! Like four times too much- a .5 pound would be great.

You're going for an American pale ale? I'd cut the bittering hops and some of the late addition hops, as much as I love hops and move some later in the boil or for dryhopping.

Like this:
1.00 oz Warrior [15.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min
1.00 oz Centennial [10.00 %] - Boil 15
1.00 oz cascade 10 minutes
1 oz centennial 5 minutes
1 oz cascade 0 minutes
dryhop with cascade or centennial or chinook
 
Thank you. Actually I started at .5 Victory and bumped to pound and then up to 2 wasn't quite sure about it. yes going for an pale/IPA. I am an IPA guy the more bitter the better for me. Again thank you for your help I will try it out in a couple weeks just put your ruination clone in Primary yesterday smells incredible thank you.
