Hi-
I have a CDA in primary that I using a partial mash recipe. This was the first time I had done a late extract and I wasn't aware that it has the characteristic of upping the bitterness. Originally I was shooting for around an IBU of around 75, but apparently the late extract ramped it up to 99. I'm wondering if I should hold off on the dry hop additions of citra/williamette, especially given that the estimated ABV is fairly low at or just under 6%. Open to suggestions!
