Have you Got enough hops in there ?

Was that sarcasm?

I was wondering that as well.

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

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

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

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

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 ...

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

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

put back until june  1st, please pm wallace, simon or rebel .

You got here before me Rebel ;-)

We postponed this because of the late proportion of club members busy with communions and family days

No dry hoping?
