Quick FYI: Boiling Whirlfloc too long denatures it - you don't get its benefit. I find adding it at about 10 minutes works best.I'm heading out today to get the ingredients. Here are screen shots of my BrewTarget recipe- it gets pretty close using my equipment parameters. Switching the 30 min. hop addition from 'boil' to 'aroma' brought the IBUs from 70-something down to 36.2. I'll be using WLP001 and adding a Whirlfloc @ 30 min.

I'm really done brewing for the year - a few to bottle but that's about it. I will do the Sierra Nevada clone early next year, though! Still on a quest for a really good pale ale....
I'm with you, brother! I'll brew the Sierra Nevada clone just to get ideas, I like Sierra Nevada but it has in my humble opinion some flaws - the first sip tends to be harsh to me, particularly if served too cold is one example. But if I can get close to it, I can tweak it to my taste.I'm a huge SNPA fan. I've tried several clones and gotten some nice PA's, but not SN. I think you could get there for sure if you played with a recipe enough to match your system and brewing style. My problem is, I get tired and bored of brewing the same thing over and over. Ha, funny thing is, after I hit perfection...I'd probably never brew it again. Mission accomplished!
I do tend to use the same base pale ale recipe and just play with and change up the hop bill.
I’m pretty sure that’s the intent of the posted recipe.you'll be disappointed if you go by the website
