So I brewed my second IPA yesterday and ended with a OG of 1.062. So I have two questions about my brew that Im unsure of.
1) I want to know how many IBUs my beer will have.
2) Does this beer qualify as being a Double IPA?
To answer the first question I tried some online calculators to calculate my IBU, but they seem to be off saying I will have around 220 IBUs, which seems wrong. I am trying to brew a beer between 100-120 IBUs.
Here is my amounts and their alpha acids, I boiled them for 60 minutes. I brewed a 5 gallon batch and my boil size was 2.5 gallons.
1 oz of 14.9 alpha acid @ 60 min
1 oz of 14.0 alpha acid @ 58 min
1 oz of 13.0 alpha acid @ 56 min
1 oz of 13.9 alpha acid @ 30 min
1 oz of 10.2 alpha acid @ 10 min
This is my third brew and I am still learning a lot every time I brew. Thank you.
