This months BYO (Jan-Feb 20-16, page 17) features a clone of Peekskill Brewery's Malt Balls Brown Ale.
The recipe lists the IBU as 51. But when I put the recipe in software, I'm getting IBUs above 90!
OG is 1.064
Bittering per the recipe is 2 ounces of 11.2% Alpha acid hops @ 60 mins.
Flavor per recipe is 1 ounce same hop at 5 mins and then 1 ounce at flameout.
I did find out that if you reduce the 2 ounces of bittering to 1 ounce of bittering, you get the right number of IBUs. Would someone else mind checking this? I like the idea of the beer described in the text, but I think the bittering hops additions in the recipe are off.
Any advice?
