Hi all
A few days ago I brewed a beer from a recipe from the Craft Brew book by Euan Ferguson. The beer in question was Manchester bitter Marble brewery. OG 1040 with the following hop additions : Herkules 16.1%AA 70 mins (3 grams!) goldings 3.4%AA (20 grams ) 15 mins & 25 grams of Waimea 18%AA & 25 grams motueka 8% AA steeped for 20 mins at flame out. What concerns me is the IBU which I calculate to be about 13. This does not sound right. I have a small window this week to brew again , so I am wondering to ditch the original batch & brew again with a IBU somewhere in the 30s. Thoughts appreciated.
