Hi. I found a recipe online of a clone beer that I wanted to try making.

The original recipe calls for:

Grain:
81.9% - 8lbs 8oz - CMC Superior Pale Ale Malt (3.1 SRM)
18.1% - 1lbs 14oz - Flaked Oats

Below is my adjusted recipe.

My question is: Am I correct in scaling up the recipe to maintain the same ratio as the original recipe, or should I have kept the same amount of oats as in the original recipe? I'm going for a softer mouth feel which is why I'm using oats, I just don't want to make it too thick.

Here's my adjusted recipe:
