I wish I’d followed my instincts about this recipe. The recipe summary indicates an IBU of 51.4 but the enormous hop bill suggests much higher. I put the recipe into Beersmith and it comes up with 103.3 IBUs! That’s pretty much double what the recipes states – is there a mistake in the quantities? I like a bitter ale but this is extreme and it hasn’t mellowed with age. The bitterness massively overpowers any fruitiness. Maybe I was carried away with the name of the recipe but I was hoping for some fruit and I think this combination of hops shows some promise but certainly not with these quantities!
Ian Downham –
Weird that as I use Beersmeith as well and neither Rager or Tinseth come out above 71.5.
Efficientcy is 73%.
Recipe generator is LACKING IMHO that it DOESN’T take into account IBUs added at whirlpool/steep (16.7 in this case) as Beersmith does.

Ian Downham –
Also we cannot control what is sent out Hop AA% wise……maybe it differed from the original and should have been taken into account?

Interesting. I did try to take AA% into account (the Simcoe and Mandarina hops I received had higher AA than your screen grab) but couldn’t get the estimated IBU anywhere close even to 71.5. I do notice though that your screen grab also has a kilo more Pale malt than the recipe purchased, which lowers the IBU somewhat. Also, in Beersmith my equipment profile has ‘Estimate boil hop util in whirlpool’ checked, which probably accounts for the further difference (my value for the 15 min hops is 16 IBUs for example). Anyway, no offence meant – this beer is just way too bitter for me although I like the idea and may try it again with less boil hops. I’m still drinking it though 😉
