Questions about a new IPA I am brewing.

[StevieB603]

I am about to brew up a 2 gal batch of IPA with an oz of warrior hops, 2 .oz of sorachi ace hops and an oz of mosaic hops. 3.15 lbs gold malt extract syrup and a half lb of rahr 2 row malt, boiled for 45 mins, will this be too malty\hoppy?

So the "grain bill" gets you to around 1.060 OG. So far, so good.
But assuming you pitch the Warrior at the beginning of your 45 minute boil, that alone puts the IBUs up around 140.
If you then pitch the Sorachi Ace at, say, 15 minutes and the Mosaic at 5, the IBUs would be up around 240.

That 2 gallons is what's setting everything off. The same hop schedule in 5.25 gallons would yield 98 IBUs.

I think you'd do well to play with a recipe calculator...

Cheers!

+1 to using a recipe calculator (or get the beersmith trial) what youhave above will be veeeeeery hoppy/bitter (depending on your addtion times)

Thanks all. Beer is in the fermenter and OG was around 1.060. Another quick question, there seems to be a bit of wort in the airlock. Should I be worried? Will it hurt anything?
