I've been tweaking it here and there, but I'm looking for a little feedback on this recipe for an American IPA.
Tried to go with something simple, because I'm still new, so please...be gentle! :mug:

according to the calculator on tastybrew.com:
5 gallon batch
3.5 gallon boil
est OG 1.070
est FG 1.018
ABV 6.7%
IBU 104 (doubt it will be THAT high with only a 3.5 gallon boil)

7 lbs Light DME
1 lb Crystal 60L (for steeping)
1 lb Honey

1 oz Tomahaw @ 60 min
.5 oz Warrior @ 30 min
.5 oz Warrior @ 10 min
1 oz Cascade @ 5 min
still trying to decide if I want to dry hop or not.

What does everyone think?
 
I think you need more hops. .25 more hops at 60 and double that 10 min addition. 1.070 you will want a lot of hops to balance it and still be a hoppy IPA.
