so i brewed my first ipa this weekend. i think i going to have a case of bitter beer smile when its done though. i messed up on my hop additions. so the grain bill is pretty cut and dry. the hops were too, youd think. so i first wort hopped 1oz of warrior, this is on a 90 minute boil. then at 45 mins added 1oz centennial, and at 15 minutes 1 oz cascade. i was only supposed to put .5 oz centennial. when i plugged my recipe into recipator, theres no way to calculate extraction from the first wort hopping, so i assume i added another 10-20 ibu with that, then with the extra centennial i was at 88 ibu in recipator. so i think ill be right around 100 ibu. it was supposed to be 62 ibu. oh and i forgot about the 1oz of fuggle that im going to dry hop, but that wont do any bittering. does this sound awefully bitey to anybody else? during fermentation, my fridge smelled like a hop farm.
