Here is a recipe i have for an ESB Amber not sure about hop additions.
11lb German Pale Ale
2lb German Munich Light
1/2Lb Crystl 70L
1/4 Lb Aromatic
Bittering hops columbus 13.9 AA 60 min
Finishing hops Fuggles 3.9 AA 15 min
Finishing hops kent Goldings 4.5 AA 2 min
Yeast white labs wpl 001
Mash 154 for one hour then fly sparge and boil 90 min
So I went to the hbs and got the ingredients the AA on the hops was columbus 19.4, fuggles 5.6 and kent Goldings was 4.3.
so after plugging the info into the brewing software I use (Brewers Friend) I get 78 Ibu's if using 1 oune of each hop. if i put all the hops at .25 ounce I Get 19 Ibu's
My goal is to just know that the hop is there I dont want it in your face so to speak. so my question is. Is .25 of an ounce enough hops. will i even know that I put hops in the brew? I dont mind trial and era but I still want to have a good beer at the end of the day.
Thanks in advance Greg...
