Hey guys,
I've been brewing for a few years now. Thankfully, I have been enjoying a good success rate so far. Pretty much every batch is great, and they are consistent.
I have never been very daring with my recipes. I tend to change amounts in small increments out of fear of going overboard. With my IPAs, I have been adding more and more hops and each time I find myself thinking I should have added more.
So after making quite a few successful IPAs, I want to make a really big and bold IPA.
The recipe should yield about 10% abv. I tend to get better attenuation than the calculator predicts, so probably more. I may tone down the dextrose to keep things around the 10% mark.
My main concern is whether I have too big a hop addition at the 10 and 0 min marks. I mean, even Pliny uses quite a bit less from what I remember. So do you guys think this plan is ridiculous? (Edit: I guess it's hard to define ridiculous. I'm not worried about the IBUs, I'm just wondering if there comes a point where it's just too much hops flavor, even in this big a beer.)
Thanks for your time!
