I would suggest if you are aiming for a 4% brew to keep IBUs down around 40 max to keep it in balance. I would try a first wort hop to smooth it out, a bit at 10 minutes and plenty late at 0 min or whirlpool (if you whirlpool).

Also, dont go adding all of your fermentables to the 7L boil. Not sure if that was your intent but your plan is showing a boil gravity of 1.093. Try to keep it around the 1.04 mark to get the best utilisation of hops and throw the rest into the fermenter with the top up water.


Oh yeah- chuck in a handfull of that crystal too as it will give the lighter ABV beer a bit more of a platform to carry a higher IBU.
