I got this recipe from another board and is based on a coconut porter by a japanese brewer that won some awards a while ago. His was an all grain and this is someone else's partial extract version.

In this version of the recipe, some of the weight values are rounded up/down for convenience.
One main note is that the original recipe called for 1.5 oz Northern Brewer hops at 8% alpha
My LHBS only had 12% alpha Northern Brewerer. So they said i should be able to use only 1 oz and get the same result. I brewed the beer and then plugged it into beersmith and the IBU is really low. 26.8. It was supposed to be 46 ibu.
So was this hops adjustment a big error. do i need to try and fix it??
