How many oz of hibiscus per gallon did you use if I may ask
On this batch it was only 0.25oz per gallon; however, you could easily have doubled that while reducing any other hop additions. Hibiscus by itself adds a heap of bitterness which is why they add a poopyton of sugar when making the drink Jamaica.
Planning a blood orange/hibiscus version of my wedding day witbier, picked up 4oz for about 6gal of finished beer
That seems reasonable. You should pull some color, aroma, and bitterness from the hibiscus petals without it overwhelming it. I've done 1lb to 5 gallons ... you can omit any hop addition at that level, and you need to dump some nonfermentable, too. You might actually consider doing that due to the bitterness added from the petals. You can wait until it ferments out though to make that judgement call.
