A glitch in Beer Alchemy that I didn't catch until last night brought to my attention that the Robust Porter I just kegged might be a little high in IBU's. Anyway, I thought I would see what the community thought.
I based the recipe off of JZ's robust porter in the Brewing Classic Styles book but used WLP005 (British Ale) and tweaked the grains a little. Regardless using EKG and Fuggles I came out with 41 IBU's on a 1.052 OG/ 1.013 FG porter.
It is within the style guidelines so I am hoping it won't be too bitter for an English porter. Any input since I can't drink it for a week? Can you overhop with EKG and Fuggles?
Thanks for any input!
