So, right from Smuttynose's website:
Hops
Bittering: Cascade and Galena
Flavoring: Willamette
Starting Extract 15° Plato
Terminal Extract 3.26° Plato
ABV 6.7%
IBU 18
I'm confused, not only do they list Galena as a hop used, but they list it as "bittering" - 60 min? I mean, isn't Galena way too high of AA to yield 18 IBU if used as a bittering hop? Especially in conjunction with Cascade as well...
Plugged into beersmith, even ONE TENTH OF ONE OZ of Galena would make the beer 24+IBU.
I'm confused. Still somewhat new to all this too.
