Going for an evening brew tomorrow, an all Frist Gold pale ale

Target IBU ~38
68 degree mash 60 mins
60 min boil
Fermenting with s04

11kg Marris Otter 97%
300g Crystal Malt 3%

60g First Gold [8.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) 28.4 IBU
60g First Gold [8.00 %] (15 min) Hops 7.7 IBU

Go On, be insanely brave, and swap the FWH and the 15 minute additions around (thats 7.7 IBU from the FWH, and 28.4IBU from the 15 minute. Drop the 5 minute addition (move it to the steep)



Go on




I dare you





You not chicken are you ?

Ok, I'm thinking of swapping the hop schedule to this:

50.00 gm First Gold [8.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 19.7 IBU
100.00gm First Gold [8.00 %] (15 min) Hops 19.7 IBU
80.00 gm First Gold [8.00 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep 80 degrees 15 mins)

The plan is to try to get equal IBU's from the FWH and the 15 min additions giving a total of around 40 IBU, also moved the 5 mins additions and added them to the 80 degree steep hops.

Has anyone done anything similar to this and if so, what was the outcome?

IBU's calculated with Beersmith - Tinseth
