Have you Got enough hops in there ?

( maybe more at 15 mins  ? )

[simonok]

Was that sarcasm?

[Taf]

Was that sarcasm?

I was wondering that as well.

[Cambrinus]

For a standard/ ordinary bitter, 24 IBU is on the lower end for the style.

[Taf]

There's plenty of hops in there, and will probably get plenty of flavour and aroma. It's not all about bitterness!

[Cambrinus]

Precisely. Enough hops in there for the style. Just did not get 1st question in this thread.

[simonok]

I'm going for a mix of style, Bitter meets American IPA

[wallacebiy]

As I said yesterday ,
Since you aren't putting in any 60min hops I'd be afraid there'll be a lack in the bitterness ,

I could be wrong though , but I think the utilisation for IBU's can vary greatly in late hopping only techniques .
I'm basing this on something I might have read a while back .


Just playing devils advocate in a way ...

[simonok]

This is fine for a beer this low abv, there are plenty of higher abv beer with lower IBUs

[rebel]

brew going ahead next saturday in franscian well, 8am.

[rebel]

[simonok]

[akavango]

No dry hoping?
