Greetings,
I'm looking for some recipe reformulation advice.
I brought this kit home and plugged it into Beersmith to see what I would end up with and 49 ibu in a 1.089 og double ipa doesn't seem right to me.
Recipe Specifications
--------------------------
Boil Size: 7.50 gal
Post Boil Volume: 6.50 gal
Batch Size (fermenter): 5.50 gal
Bottling Volume: 5.00 gal
Estimated OG: 1.089 SG
Estimated Color: 7.5 SRM
Estimated IBU: 48.7 IBUs
Brewhouse Efficiency: 75.00 %
Est Mash Efficiency: 85.2 %
Boil Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
------------
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
17 lbs Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.8 SRM) Grain 1 98.0 %
5.6 oz Acid Malt (3.0 SRM) Grain 2 2.0 %
1.00 oz Magnum [12.30 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 3 29.9 IBUs
1.00 oz Cascade [6.70 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 4 12.5 IBUs

Other than what came with the kit, (I added the acid malt) I have these hops in my inventory:
2oz Magnum
1oz Cascade
1oz Northern Brewer
1.75oz Kent Golding
1oz Hallertau
1oz Centennial
1oz Saaz
2oz Chinook (homegrown)
I don't care so much about cloning the Rouge beer. I also have no problem buying more/different hops.
What would you do?
