A pound of victory is a lot. If you love it, that's great, but I'd cut it in half.

The hops additions are miniscule for a 1.071 IPA. Move the 30 minute addition to 15 minutes, and then if you have more hops, double all the late additions (at least).

so instead of doing .25 at 30 and 15 just do .5 of each at 15?

Yep. An ounce total at 15/10/5/0 or whatever your schedule is.

so i cut my victory in half which brought it to 6.4 srm any advice on bumping that up? I kind of want to stay away from crystal malts.

What color are you hoping to get? You can add an ounce of carafa III to get it darker if you want, or sinamar. I like a light colored IPA, so I'd probably be happy with 6.4 SRM.

I would use something besides the precious simcoe for my 60 min. Magnum maybe or another clean bittering hop that is easy to get year 'round.

how about an oz of centennial for 60 minutes in place of the .75 oz of simcoe? Brings my IBUs to 69.

That's good.
