Hey guys,
I am going to brew a pliny the elder clone for the first time, using my own Extract version.
The fermenter vol is 13.7L and my top off will be 5.5L
the question is, is the IBU calculated by beersmith true? Can i really get to 100IBU's with only about 60g of hop providing most of my IBU's? it seems a bit far fetched to me, as 5.5L of top off is a lot.
Should I try and work with less top off to get more accurate? Can I even get to such high IBU with so much top off?
