For my second BIAB brew I would like to try this double jack clone recipe: http://www.bertusbrewery.com/2012/11/ipa-clone-series-firestone-walker.html
When I put this recipe into Brewers Friend it comes out to close to 300 IBU while the clone recipe says ~100 IBU. The recipe does not state the AA% of the hops, so I'm using the default values in Brewers Friend. However, I have heard that there is little difference in perceived bitterness above ~100 IBU. So should I be worried? Or should I tone back the bittering hops to get around 100 IBU?
What is a substitute grain for Simpsons Caramalt?
It says to mash at 145F for 60min, then 155F for 10 mins. What is the purpose of this 2-step mash temp? 145F seems awfully low.
Thanks
