Found a recipe of a Sierra Nevada Clone online that looked good and ordered all the ingredients.
However, when I added the recipe in BeerSmith I get a lot of the numbers wrong.

60 min .33 oz Magnum 14,4%
30 min .6 oz Perle 6.9%
10 min 1 oz Cascade 5.6%
0 min 2 oz Cascade 5.6%
Safale US-05
OG: 1.053
FG: 1.012
IBUs: 37
ABV: 5.9%
3 gal water in kettle, top up with water to 5.5 gal in fermenter.

Can't see what I'm doing wrong here really? Should I follow the original recipe and still get a good beer or is there any reason to add more hops for IBUs?
Many thanks!
