8 lbs. of caramel/crystal malt and 2 lbs. of caramunich ? You don't want to do that!!! 1 lb. of crystal is plenty

 

[USAFSooner]

Agreed. I'd try 10lb of marris otter, cut the 40L to a lb. cut the other speciality grains in half

 

[MFT12]

Ok I changed up the grains. what about the hops? does everything look ok there?

 

[USAFSooner]

I'd dry hop with simcoe instead of cascade. It'll be hoppy but I think that's what you're going for

 

[Tombstone0]

Something seems to be wrong with the volumes. It says End of Boil Volume 6.76 gallons and then final bottling volume 4.75 gallons. You'll lose a little bit from hops and trub but not 2 gallons.

 

[Dirty25]

It looks kinda complicated to me. 7 different hops is a ton. I like to keep it down to a bittering hop then two flavor/aroma hops.

There is a ton of crystal in there. Cara Munich and crystal 40 is very similar I would cut the crystal 40 down to a half pound and delete the caramunich.
