Think this may be overboard, or great?

Like it says in the shaggy dog story: That ain't so hoppy. If it it tastes like grapefruit juice, wait an extra week.

Thanks for the response!

I have been brewing for a few years now, but mostly British styles and a few stouts. This is my first attempt at a hop forward beer, so nice to see I didn't go off the mark.

That looks reasonable to me.

Last week I made a 5.2% beer with a pound of Chinook. Trust me, you ain't going too far off the edge.

No such thing as too much hops!

Regardless, the more hops you throw in, the lower your hop extract efficiency, so even if you mathematically have a 5,000 IBU beer, I think you reach a theoretical limit of around 120 IBU.

Needs more hops...
