sorry for the ambiguity. It's the recipe I have designed but wanted to know if anyone foresees any problems with this brew?
 
Are you doing a 2.5 gallon boil? If so, recheck your IBU calculation. That's a lot of malt syrup in a small boil, I think you'll either need to increase your boil size or you'll have to use more hops.

2.5 gallons of water, but probably around 3 gallons average volume since it will start off with an entire gallon of LME
 
Brewed today. Hope all goes well. I'll keep you guys updated
