Well I dont know your efficiency, but it looks roughly like a 1.060 brown ale. If thats what you are going for, The malts look good for that. Maybe a touch more toasty malts, might be nice.

But.... I dont know the %on your warrior hops, but that looks like 70ibu. Do you want that? With a fruity yeast and a malt centered recipe? If you give us more of what you are aiming for, we can give better feedback.

I was aiming for an IPA, I am just a hair over on the SRM for color on the style, beer smith also has me at 89 IBU's, I figured thats about right which is why I don't have more hop additions, I might drop the chocolate malt, aim for a higher OG, and switch to yeast 1056 or 1272

I tweaked it a bit

If you are aiming for an ipa, you have little to no hop aroma/flavor additions. Or dry hop. It will be bitter but you arent going to have a ton of hoppiness. Is that what you want? Also thats a ton of crystal for an ipa.

+1 one about the crystal, you could switch it for 40L or use half the amount

I started from scratch lol

If that is a 5 gal batch, it sounds like a bitter beer. I use a couple of ounces of Warrior for 60 min. for a 10 gal batch of moderately bitter IPA.
