I might as well ask this here, I think. I'm planning on brewing a Cali Common, and I got a copy of Brewing Classic Styles yesterday. In it, the Cali Common recipe (that this recipe is based on) seems very heavy on the pale malt - the AG version calls for 10 lb of pale malt, plus the same character malts as in this recipe. Is this a mistake in the book, or are they assuming very low efficiency? BeerSmith puts it at 1064 or so for my efficiency in a 5.5 gallon batch into the fermenter (6 gal post boil volume at 60F).
