Do you add more hops if you overshoot SG?

So I normally hit about 72% efficiency but ended up quite a bit higher this weekend.

Meant to hit 1.052 but hit 1.061. So I added about 20% more IBUs and now the wort seems too hoppy. Should I have not done this?

I was making a New Belgian q554 clone.

When I'm designing recipes I usually try to hit a certain bitterness ratio (IBU's/Gravity Units), since the gravity of the beer does affect the impact of the amount of IBU's. So you adding 20% more IBU's to offset the higher gravity makes sense to me.

Where did you add the extra IBU's in the boil?

 

[ghart999]

Yes I had only a 60 min addition. So I added more about 10 mins into the boil once my sample cooled down to read.

Yes.
