Was wondering if anyone could give me any critique on this...I'm going for a slightly sweet Nut Brown flavored in the secondary with DiSaronno and maybe a touch of Almond Extract at bottling. I'm new to a couple of things here, namely the PM and have never used Carafa or Brumalt (Honey malt). If anyone sees anything grossly wrong, or even would like to make small inclusions or exclusions, please feel free to do so!

I may just do what someone suggested and not sparge. I will vorlauf and then just add the runnings to already boiling water to serve as the mashout. Any problems with this?
Also, is my amount of Pale malt right? I have never done PM and have no idea how much to use.
