As the title suggests, I'd like a bit of feedback on this hop user-upper. I've realised I have too many odds in my freezer so trying to get rid of some. Opting for a golden ale style brew. And feedback, especially on my hopstand, most welcome. 👍

For 13l batch, 70% efficiency
Grain
Pale malt - 2kg
Wheat malt - 500g
Biscuit malt - 140g

Hops
Celeia - 8g @ 45
Giggles - 8g @ 45
EKG - 10g @ 10
First Gold - 10g @ 5
First Gold - 60g @ 0 (maybe 80oC)

OG 1.044 FG 1.010
8.5 EBC; 20 IBU
Yeast - CML The Firm (Beirm yeast)
 
Can't think of any more Giggles jokes.

Bitterness seems a bit low, 20 IBU in 1044 beer is below 0.5. As golden ale is really a version of bitter I aim around 0.75, which would be 33 IBU.

But it's a personal preference.

I like my beers with more bitterness, but I tried to stay within the limits given by the recipe builder I'm using. Am going to ramp it up a bit. 👍
