Your recipe is for 5 gallons at 92.5% efficiency, is that your efficiency or the breweries? I'm assuming yours is lower and that will impact the grain bill. It may help if you post your version of the beersmith recipe (I can't read your PDF for some reason) and the link to the breweries recipe.

The hops are measured in lbs and I don't see the ibu's associated with each addition, so you need to double check that. Your only at 10.8 ibu's and you have a lot of hops listed. I can't tell what your ibu's are from the description so it's hard to know.

The recipe I gave above is from the brewery I have tried to scale it up from there here is mine I came up with

It didn't make it on the screen but there is also 14lbs of 2 row on my recipe

It's probably easier to convert the hops to grams from ounce.

So 28*16= 448g
448* .01= 4.48 g

448* .04 = 17.92g

So it appears your hop additions are high for the recipe which may be fine if that's what you want.

Have you calculated your efficiency and added it to beersmith yet? That variable can get you in trouble here. Your og will be low by somewhere around 22-25% if you don't account for that

 

[ggoodwin]

Yes when I first added everything to beer smith it was low on the Og side I added more graim and it brought my Og up. I'm Going to dropmy hop Additions down and see where that puts me
