So I used a recipe for a pale ale from this app I downloaded on my iPad called iBrewmaster. Somehow I think the green bullet hop addition on the recipe got scaled way to high. Unfortunately, I did not catch this until after brewing the beer.
Here's the recipe:

Estimated Actual
OG: 1.045 1.048
FG: 1.011 1.011

Yeasts

Is this beer going to be entirely too bitter? I don't remember ever messing with the amount of hops when I scaled it down to 3 gallons from 5 gallons so I'm unsure what happened.
