Well i was aiming for below a FG of 1.020, so OG of around 1.075??
Anyway, it looks like my understanding of bittering and hopping beers is all off.. Maybe the measurements in hopville have thrown me off?
I was still after some explanation of how people are giving these 150+ IBU ratings by using less hops with lower AA and more grains??
I will stick to Yoopers hop bill with 1.5 at the start (so i use the whole pack of summit ;0) )
boil 60 mins 1.5 Summit
boil 20 mins 1.0 Cascade
boil 15 mins 1.0 Northdown
boil 5 mins 1.0 northdown
boil 1 min 1.0 Cascade
boil 0 min 1.0 Summit
dry hop 7 days 0.5 Cascade leaf 5.5
dry hop 7 days 0.5 Northdown leaf 8.5
dry hop 7 days 1.0 Summit leaf 17.5

Is 52 IBUs really enough??
