So I had a recipie for an APA that I wanted to change around a bit for more of a citrusy kind of hop profile. The software I have however seems to think the IBU's will be pretty high (around 67). I just wanted to get some thoughts since this if the first time i've messed with a recipie and ive seen some post on here about problems with IBU calculations.

So im shooting for a fairly dry APA with a citrusy/flowery profile, balanced more toward hoppy but not overboard...maybe 40ish ibu

8lbs LME
1lb munich
.5 lb torrified wheat
.75lbs caravienna

1 oz citra 60 min
1oz simcoe 30 min
1oz chinook 0min

california yeast

dropping to .5 oz for ea looks like it gets to aound 35ibu..i guess im just curious if that seems right to you guys, i dont want to underhop and be more on the malty side
 
If I had only these hops to work with I would do
.5 oz each citra & chinook @ 10min from end of boil
.5 oz each citra & chinook @ flameout
bitter to 40ibu total with simcoe and any simcoe left throw in at flameout as well.
