Hi guys, I am planning on making a version of this recipe http://aussiehomebrewer.com/recipe/1458-parched-as-bro-pale-ale/ soon & am a bit confused by the hop info. The recipe author says the IBU info is correct, but the variety he uses is galaxy. Three fairly modest additions fine the recipe an IBU of 11ish, which I assume is just incorrect.
The galaxy at G&G are 14.9%AA (his were 5.5%, which sounds wrong too). Am I right? Is the hop info in that recipe way out? I want to brew something higher in IBU than 11ish - maybe around a standard APA like LCPA, so between 35 - 40. Are there any rules of thumb for designing balanced hop schedules? I've had a google but there is a shed load of info.
Would something like this work (IBUs calculated using brewmajig app, may be rough)
10g at 60 mins (14 IBU)
10g at 30 mins (11 IBU)
20g at 10 mins (10 IBU)
