Nothing wrong with that recipe.

If I had to suggest anything, it'd be to add a bit more EKG at 5, but that really depends on your taste as is just nitpicking really.

 

[Enerjex]

yeah i was thinking about upping it to 20g or so

 

[goatherder]

Drop the Pride and go EKG all the way. I love EKG. Now Pride... well Pride is Pride.

 

[Enerjex]

was thinking about it goatherder, but i have 60g of POR sitting here but not enough EKG to do the job.

 

[Adamt]

I've found PoR at 60 gives it that little "Australiana" feel without being offensive at all. If you have it to use, at 60 is the best time for it.

 

[Enerjex]

that's exactly what i was thinking Adamt, stuff the english heritage, it's an Aussie bitter! lol

 

[Screwtop]

To achieve Aussie IMO use Nugget (60 min Bittering) and Cluster (20min Flavour), have a look at AndrewQld's recipe. Now, I like POR but 45g of POR in that gravity would turn your ears backward . If you like POR try 5G with 30g of Nugget for bittering to start with then adjust according to your taste.

Screwy

I really think you should relook at your IBU calcs for POR. With aa. = 10% I think that having that in for 60 Minutes with 40g with give you a butt load more bitterness that you are anticipating. Try working your calcs again maybe.... Although this is just me looking at it, might be wrong but i really doubt it. Looks like you'll overshoot your bitterness goal by about 2x.

I might be about to be hammered here. Should really promash it but what the hell

20g of EKG at 5 sounds just right for that brew I think.

Nothing wrong with pride for bittering. I'd rallied against for a long time but the few I've done with it since are very nice beers. Not saying I'll use it all the time by any means...

I'd consider dropping it a little but I'd say your ears are safe

I did the calc in beersmith leeboy, but I can see your cause for concern as I'm only doing a 10 litre boil and I just changed it to a 27 litre boil in beersmith to see what it would say and it came back with 47IBU from the POR. I think the IBU should hopefully be about right given my boil size.
