How does this IPA look?

I created this by looking over a bunch of SN Celebration clone recipes, and combining what I thought would work (and what is available at the LHBS).  Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

6 lbs. Coopers Light LME
2 lb. American 2-row pale (steeped for 30 min.)
1 lb. Briess Carapils (steeped for 30 mins.)
1 lb. Breiss crystal 40 L (steeped for 30 min.)

1.5 Chinook    60 min.
.5 Centennial  10 min.
.5 Cascade      10 min.
.5 Centennial    1 min
.5 Cascade      1 min.
.5 Cascade and Centennial dry hopped @ 7 days

White Labs California Ale (wlp001)

Expected OG - 1.062
Expected FG- 1.015
IBU -53.8
SRM - 8
ABV - 6.3%

5 gallon batch, done with a 3 gallon boil.

Thanks for any info

The head brewer at Sn, Steve Dressler gave an interview on the Brewing Network last year.  When asked for a recipe, he gave the Celebration recipe.

Use 2 to one for the Cascade to Centennial.  SN only uses C-60ish crystal in their beers.  The recipe he gave was only Pale malt and C-60. I would try and get near these specs;

You can get rid of the carapils.  Not only does SN not use it, but with extract you won’t need the extra body.  As a point of reference, here’s Dean Larson’s classic Christmas Tree ale recipe.  About as close as you can get to Cewlebration.

What if I got rid of the carapils and crystal, and added 2 lbs. Caramel 60?  And then kept the hops the same except added an ounce of Cascade @ 30 mins.  That will get my IBU’s almost right on, and will also darken it to 15 SRM.

You don’t need 2#…Maybe a half to 3/4…Or, like Denny suggested, above (after reading).
And, you can go easy on the moustache.
Freddy would have liked it that way.

Thanks for the help guys.

And you can never have too much 'stache!
