Big Time Screw Up!!!

[Poobah58]

Brain fart, senior moment... Call it what you wish! Brewed up a Chinooker'd Rye IPA tonight with a buddy. Added some Chinook in the mash, FWH, 20, 10 and 1 minute. FORGOT to add the oz at 60 min!!!! This makes it a 49 IBU Pale Ale instead of a 72 IBU IPA! UGH!!!

Should I leave it as is or siphon off a gallon and boil some hops for and hour, cool, then add back?

Leave it as is.

You know they say Champagne was a mistake also.

Could turn out great.

I don't know. I'd probably just leave it as is. 49 IBU is a decent amount, it just won't be an IPA per se.

EDIT: 49IBU puts it squarely in the British IPA range

Its pretty easy to boil an ounce of hops for an hour. I'd try to get the recipe back on track. Me, I'd boil in some water and pour it in.

 

[Poobah58]

Well, I siphoned off a gallon and I'm boiling now...

You could have made a hop tea using a french press used for coffee.
