...you'll need to bump up the amount of specialty grains.
That's a huge amount of specialty grains! Normally I only see 1-1.5# used. I think John Palmer has a bit on that in "How To Brew"...
It is a Sierra nevada clone. I know for a fact that 1 pound did not cut it at all last time. It just tasted like a basic ale. It didn't tasted bad but did not taste like SNPA.
Sorry, if that recipe was in your original post it wasn't showing up for me. My only thought is the only grain you're using is 2-row. It's all base malt. There are no specialty grains. Steeping 2-row really won't get you anywhere. Usually when steeping, you are using crystal, munich, etc. That may be a fine recipe but if the criticism is that you're short on specialty grains, that's spot on.
