I was attempting to make a traditional Irish Red Ale and used too much hops.
My recipe called for 0.50 oz. of Nugget and I guess I got all beside myself and dumped the entire ounce in there.
This along with a small Galena addition (leftovers from a previous brew) pushes my IBUs up around 51. I didn't realize that I had put the whole 1 oz. in there until afterwards I was going over my next recipe which I was going to use the other 0.50 oz in.
She's still conditioning, so I haven't had a good taste yet to compare.
Irish Red Ale usually stays under 28 IBUs.
If it turns out to be a good beer, I would still like to maybe enter this into a homebrew competition.
What style could I enter this under?
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
This is my first post, btw.
