I've recently upgraded my equipment from 3 gallon pot to a 6g.
I've recently made a Pale Ale
I used 50g Perle hops @ 60m for bittering. And then 25g Amarillo at 15 mins and again at 0 mins and Beersmith says it's 53 IBU's.
The beer is arguably still a bit young after only 2 weeks conditioning but it seems to taste fairly bitter right now. Not unpleasantly so, but lets just say noticably bitter
My question is, maybe because of my older equipment maybe my IBU readings, and thus my understanding of tasting IBU's is out of kilter.
So... what does 53 IBU's taste like?
