Mash Notes: Simple single infusion mash for use with most modern well modified grains (about 95% of the time).
 
6.7 SRM isn't going to give a copper color, it will be very light. I haven't had a Lagunitas Censored but I would suggest upping the crystal 40L, or better yet, adding another crystal in the the grain bill, crystal 80L. Copperish color should come in around 17-20 SRM (off the top of my head).
