I've been trying to develop a recipe for a softer, maltier IPA with some sweetness and enough assertive bitterness to remain balanced.
Here's what I have so far:

Minimum FG: 1.010 SG Maximum FG: 1.018 SG
Minimum IBU: 40 IBU Maximum IBU: 60 IBU
Minimum Color: 8.0 SRM Maximum Color: 14.0 SRM
Recipe Overview
Wort Volume Before Boil: 7.00 US gals
Wort Volume After Boil: 6.00 US gals
Volume Transferred: 5.5 US gals
Expected Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.050 SG
Expected OG: 1.055 SG
Expected FG: 1.015 SG
Apparent Attenuation: 72.0 %

Fermentables

Hops
Variety Alpha Amount IBU
UK Challenger 7.1 % 1.50 oz 44.8 Loose Pellet Hops 60 Min From End
UK Challenger 7.1 % 0.50 oz 4.0 Loose Pellet Hops 15 Min From End

I'm seeking specific feedback on the amount of crystal in this recipe....is this percentage too high? Would I be looking at something cloyingly sweet?
