How does this recipe look to you?

[trapae]

Can anyone give opinions on how this recipe may turn out?
I started with a rough outline of hop stoopid, but scaled it down in IBU and OG for a pale ale, and changed some other stuff.

Is the malt bill to simple?
Do chinook and cascade work well together?
How is nugget for bittering or should I use something like magnum?

Thanks, I'm still a noob.

Looks fine to me. Sometimes the simplest grain bills are the best. If you check out breweries websites, you'll see that most of their beers have a very simple gain bill. I've found Nugget to be just fine for bittering. If it's what you have....use it.

The grain bill is fine. I would simplify your hop bill a bit to match that. You've got 5 different varieties of hops in there. The beer will turn our fine as is, and if you are trying to get rid of some stuff you've got lying around, then leave it alone.

However, I think you'd do better to use one variety of hops for bittering, and another for flavor/aroma.
