There are good ways to filter and bad ways. Which did you use?
My limitation is my boil volume I only have a 21litre (5.5gallons) pot so I can safely only boil about 18/19litres (4.8/5gallons). Not totally sure how to calculate how much to mash/sparge etc based on the grain bill from this recipe.
I will be brewing this next Sunday, why when I put the recipe into BeerSmith do I get a 1.072 OG at 70% efficiency and 5 gallons? Is this recipe supposed to be 5.5 gallons? I get 1.065 then..?

I have the same issues here, however I entered the recipe into ProMash and got 1.078. How in the world are some of these people hitting an OG of under 1.060?
How did your OG turn out?

It is funny you say this, because that is the exact OG i had! I also didn't have Beersmith at the time, then i trialled it. When i put in this recipe, it gace me a really bad efficiency which i didn't really understand! I would be interested to find what others got.
By the way, my original post mentioned the slightly sour/bitter flavour. It mellowed out very nicely....give it at least 3 weeks in the bottle!!
my fave brew - i even dreamed the other night that my partner was finishing the last of it and i was really mad with him!!!! Jeez, it is too hot to brew here in SA at the moment, but this one will be the 1st when it cools a bit!!!
Beer smith is Giving me 85 IBUs. And i went on the lower end of MoreBeers Chinook and Cascade AA% ranges since i havent bought those hops yet. Is this right? Should i Adjust down to 65 IBUs or keep original recipe. Please help. Brewing this tommorow

Don't worry about the lack of a 60minute hop addition. The bitterness is spot on.
This IPA won gold in the IBU challenge at the IBU Open in Iowa earlier this year and gold at 8 Seconds of Froth a few months ago.
If you brew, let me know what you think.
Brewed this tonight. Boil got away from me. Ended up with 4.5gal of wort. Ended up with an OG of 1.082. Pitched onto a yeast cake from a previous batch using WLP 001.
Should I compensate with extra dry hops to compensate the higher gravity? Any thoughts would be much obliged.
