So I've been talking with Matt from Oakshire brewery in Oregon. They make a fantastic IPA called Watershed IPA but its not available in DC where I live so I'm trying to clone it. He sent me his recipe and I am trying to reduce it to a 5 gallon homebrew batch size. Below is what he told me, and below that is what I have in beersmith dialed down for 5 gallons. I swapped out Amarillo's for Zythos, because Amarillo's are impossible to find and it's what they've done in the past with good results. I'd appreciate any advice!

15.1 Plato OG
2.8 plato FG

2 row pale malt-94%
