Tomorrow I'll be brewing my third batch of this beer. I've decided to significantly up my bittering addition, as I realised that the "soft" bitterness I encountered with my early batches (which I mentioned in my other thread) was probably just a result of the beer not being bitter enough! I think this was partially due to me not adjusting my IBUs for hop age (they are 2015 harvest...) and partly due to just not aiming high enough for my bitterness. So, I've revised my hop additions as per below. I'm also using a Grainfather now which has changed my volumes a bit.
Unfortunately I somehow managed to bugger up the grain bill percentages for this batch. I think Beersmith scaled the recipe incorrectly. So if you are making this recipe, I suggest you use the grain bill in my post above - it is closer to the real thing as confirmed by Pirate Life.
I will post back once this is in the keg!
