One more PM and then AG. Meantime I'm using Beersmith to figure the recipe. LHBS suggested that I only do a 60 min boil. I'll steep 3.41 lbs grain in 4.5 quarts water for 45 minutes and sparge in strainer over pot with another 4.5 quarts then add 8 lbs DME and top up to 7 Gal for boil. If I add .5 oz Warrior, .5 oz Simcoe and 2 oz Amarillo slowly and evenly the Target IBU isn't working. I figured .25 oz of each at start of boil, .25 oz of each at 55 minutes left in boil and then .25 oz of Amarillo at 5 minute intervals for the remaining 6 additions. I've been trying to manipulate the hop additions and 75 IBU is the closest I get. I'm looking to get 5.5 Gal in the Primary
