Guys any help with the hop schedule on this none?
Brewmate is indicating the bitterness is way off for the style (American Brown Ale ?)
I have 35G boil @ start
25g @ 20mins
40g steep at flameout
to get within style, it looks more like
15G boil @ start
30g @ 20mins
55g steep at flameout
Jims Wee Bee - Hop Schedule ?
Re: Jims Wee Bee - Hop Schedule ?
Brewtarget also has it as "way hoppy" but I'll trust Normski/Wobbly/Jim/Eric over a bit of software.
Remember mine is half batch size but I upscaled my additions to account to the lower AA profile of my hops @ 13% instead of Norms 14% originals

Wee Bee is not an Americam Brown Ale.
Feel free to change the hops as you see fit.

I don’t know what category that makes it.
Someone did describe it as a Modern British Ale, I quite like that.
But as its really derived from Arrogant Bastard and that is an American strong ale. Im not sure

It defies categorisation.
I would just call it a dark ale.
