Darn, I figured. Hahah well I have a personal preference for lower IBUs/lower gravity beers so thankfully even if it were 8.5% acid content I am only looking at about 63 IBUs (1.057 OG) for a BU:GU of 1.1 or so. Maybe it was a happy accident:) We shall see. This was originally more of a light...

Hi All, So after a 2 year hiatus I finally broke out my recipe (first) to improve on it and brew another batch. It's a Citra/Amarillo IPA, and my question pertains to the alpha acid content of the Amarillo hops. All online resources state that Amarillo should be somewhere near 8% or more...
