SRM off

[msppilot]

I am going to brew a Alaska Smoked Porter clone and my SRM is not even coming close to what it should be. The recipe says I should have a SRM of 58 and beer smith is telling me I will be around 32.8. Now I am fairly new to beer smith so I figure I have something enter in wrong. The recipe is:
8.25lbs 2-row pale malt
4.0lbs Munich
12oz Crystal malt
7oz black patent
.9oz Chinook at 60 minutes
.75 Willamette at 15 minutes
Wyeast 1968

I see the tool in beer smith to adjust SRM but I am following the recipe as close as possible. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

What crystal malt is it?

Are you using the same colors of crystal, munich, and black patent in beersmith as in the recipe? Also, are the volumes the same in both?

I guess the other thing to remember is that when you're up in the 30+ range - it's all freaking dark.

You're going from darker than deep brown to black. Realistically it's a pretty minor change when you get that dark.

What crystal malt is it?

The recipe calls for crystal 45L. Beer smith did not have that so I entered it as 40L.

I am not sure if it is the same colors or not. The recipe does not go into any further detail so I just found some in beer smith that I thought were close.
