I think you missed the 11 gal batch size and 1.055 OG.

Looks good. Not a fan of Simcoe in general and I don't think it would be beneficial in this style. I would consider another fruitball hop like Amarillo. If you're set on Simcoe then I'd consider bumping up the crystal a bit to balance sweetness with that papery dry mouthfeel you get from Simcoe.
