Hi there everybody! I am reaching out to the wise minds of this forum to assist me in my brewing endevours. With the assistance of remman4's original Black IPA recipe I wanted to try and brew my own version. Below I have a tweaked Black IPA recipe which I was looking for some feedback on. Please note that I am still a newbie and this would be my fourth brew. The size of this batch will be for 2.5 gallons so I hope my ingredients and brew days steps accurately reflect that. I look forward to your responses!
SIDE-NOTE: For the hops would you prefer pellet or leaf? I was looking to do pellet, but if others out there prefer otherwise let me know! Additionally what yeast would you prefer. I have read a number of recipes that use Wyeast 1272 American Ale Yeast or Safale US-05 Ale Yeast.

0.5 oz 13.1% AA Magnum 30 min (estimated AA due to being home grown!)
0.5 oz 6.6% AA Cascade 20 min
0.25 oz 6.6% AA Cascade at flameout
0.75 oz 6.6% Cascade dry hop 10 days
Final batch size 2.5-3 gallons
