No, I do not think that your IBUs are too high at all. Your recipe looks good - very much in line with an American pale ale. Plus, I say brew what you want to drink or think others will enjoy and let style guidelines be secondary - make the beer fit your taste buds and create recipes that conform to your "taste imagination." I was merely making the point that there is overlap in the styles between American pale and American IPA. You're perfectly on target if you're wanting to do a version of one of our pale ales. Cheers & happy brewing!

I used to live near Udine. We enjoyed the Birra Moretti.

Denny, in reply #6 above did you omit the word "not"?  It would certainly make more sense.

I did indeed.  Thanks.  It's been corrected.

Doesn't Moretti make a Doppio Malto?  I thought I remembered it as being not too bad.

While billions of people drink Bud and Bud Light as there favorite beer, I’ll take a Moretti over them anytime. ...but what did I know. I was just an American enjoying Italian culture.  It’s all in the perspective.

My favorite thing to do was put the kids on the school bus, get on a train to Venice ~ an hour away, eat lunch and enjoy a glass of wine al fresco by the Rialto, watch the people, and get home before the kids got off the bus.

Cheers!
