Congrats on the first batch and welcome to the homebrewing world! I haven’t looked at hoptown yet – I put most of my stuff on brewtility.org, a very small community but I like their recipe calculator.
Things like OG and IBU can be very subjective, I wouldn’t worry about it. There are AHA guidelines for everything under the sun, and brewers are experts at breaking them – which is why brewing is so awesome and constantly evolving.
As long as you’re fiendish about sanitation, there is little that can go wrong.
