Too much hops

[charlestonsailing]

Had a great brew day today with friends and family. Unfortunately it occurred to me afterward that I made a dumb mistake. My IPA recipe calls for 5 ounces of simcoe. I normally measure out 5 ounces at the start of the boil and just eyeball the additions. Today for some dumb reason I mistook 0.5 lbs as 5 ounces. Not sure what the result is gonna be but that is gonna be one hoppy beer. Hopefully I didn't ruin it.

Buy 5 more ounces and dry hop it also. Its going to be delicious.

8 oz for how much beer? 5 gallon batch?

. I hope so. Yep 5 gallons. Basically a modified grapefruit bomb only maybe even more grapefruit this time.

It's not the end of the world. 8oz of hops in a 5 gal IPA isn't a bad thing.

I just put 17 ozs in 7 gallons. 8 ozs in 5 should be fine.

Alright. Sounds good. We'll taste soon enough.

Pshaw. My recent IPA has 7oz of hops. It'll be fine.
