Hi.
I'm new to brewing ... new to IPAs. So far, I've supposedly successfully brewed 2 stouts. I say "supposedly" because all my friends like my beer. I don't trust them because I think they just like the free beer concept. Lol. But I did take my beer to a local craft brewery and I got a good review!
Anyways. I'm feeling comfortable enough now try to clone Flying Monkey's Smashbomb IPA as a gift to a friend. Not knowing enough about brewing ... I have to ask the experienced community to help me understand the differences between three recipes I've found.

** the link to the forum here as 2 recipes - one from artemis and the other from brewmastercontrols.
I find it interesting that none of the clones use the same grain bill / hops that's listed on the official website: http://www.flyingmonkeys.ca/smashbomb-atomic-ipa/
I would like to try the Hoptomology clone's instructions, but try to substitute the grain bill to match (if I can locally source) the bill listed on the official website. The problem is I don't know how to correlate the two different grain bills so I get the right amount of each malt listed on the official site. Hope my question makes sense.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. THanks.
