Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone

Here's my final cut based on info from the brewery. The crsytal 60 seems high but thats what the recipe calls for to get to 12 SRM. I may have to vary the hop additions just a bit depending on the alpha acid percentage. I'll be brewing this next weekend (hopefully). I'll let everyone know how it turns out.

EDIT** Adjust your caramel 60L and shoot for an SRM of 8.

Here it is:
