Ok, so I've created my first recipe, a barleywine, and I'm a little confused on the total hops to use. I'm wanting to get an IBU value of around 55 - 60. I've added my partial mash recipe for review. Based on BeerAlchemy's numbers after adding the recipe it looks like I'll be in the black, but after checking the bitterness calculator, just one addition of my primary bittering hop shows an IBU of 55.
