If you chill just calculate as flameout/ whirlpool additions
 
im having trouble trying to replicate recipe from syl on pg 2, and then scale down to 20l batch, brewmate is telling me IBU of 19.1? any ideas? everything else aligns.
I no chill also.
Tahoose did you just cube hop all your hop additions?
 
yeah mate.

I just had a look at my brewmate file and scaled it down this is what it came out as

This beer runs in a similar line to my Golden Ale series that was using Ale and Wheat malt as the only grist and various hop combos.

After having MGSA on tap and then taking home a 6er, I think I can make a beer similar and as refreshing.

The wesbite shows Citra & Cascade to 22ibu and 4.5% - I had only planned a 17ibu and 4.1% but I think it will be upped to meet the spec.

Here is my recipe.

OG - 1.042
FG - 1.008
ABV - 4.5%
IBU - 22
EBC - 6

75% Pilsner ( have GP Ale malt and the colour difference is about 2 ebc so I may just use that )
25% Wheat

Mashed @ 64c/45m, 73c/20m, 78c/30m

Gypsum - 8g

Citra/Cascade @ 10m - 10ibu
Citra/Cascade @ 5m - 12ibu

Fermented @ 16c for 5days with WLP001 then ramp up to 20c and dry hop with Citra/Cascade 3g/l for 5days.

B)
Got this force carbonating at since monday night @ 140kpa, should be ready for a sample tonight.

FG was 1.006 giving an abv of 4.7% which was slightly higher, the colour from the FV sample is great.

Couple of changes though, went with GP Ale malt instead of the Organic Pils and due to making a session ale on the previous batch and using citra for the dry hop I decided to use Galxy for this one using 2g/L for 5days, that wonderful passionfruit aroma was very noticable from the FV & sample :icon_drool2:
