While the IBUs may be a little high for some people, the Magnum hops lend a softer bitterness that makes this beer very drinkable. It has great hop flavor but drink it fast before the hops fade!
looks pretty good. What was you FG?

Some good looking well balanced recipes, however I have to think that if you are only using .65 oz of Magnum (assuming 14-15%AA) it should clock in around 50-55 IBUs, even a whole oz will be under 70.
I completely agree with the Magnums being a nice nonharsh bitterness too.
I recently bought a couple ounces of magnum and I can't wait to explore the non harsh bitterness I keep hearing about with them.

You're right. I made an error or two in there in the hop schedule. I was looking through different versions of recipes I have and looking for the most recent version of this beer. I'll correct it once I have a minute to look through my brew log and beersmith.

Just a couple? Come on- why not bitter to 300 IBUs and get the full experience?
Seriously I think you will like them. Ironically they remind me of the rounded bitterness you get from FWHing we were discussing in the other thread. It sort of lets you know it is there, then seconds later hits you with bitterness, lingers, lingers a little more, then dries up and is gone. I have stopped using them actually for DIPAs only because I kind of want that bitterness to last longer and leave an impression. I have been using them to bitter up darks like RIS and my impy brown. Gets you to your IBUs for balance without detracting from the rest of the flavor.
Can you tell I'm a fan?
Hop schedule has been corrected and the IBU's were adjusted. They were supposed to be 70 not 77.
I agree with you Thirsty on not using Magnums in a DIPA. I like them in this recipe here but sometimes I want an intense IPA or DIPA to bruise my tongue. But they worked out great in my RIS.
I bought a lb of magnum online for 20 bucks. Used it for the boil in a quick Mack and Jacks extract batch, and kegged it. The bitterness is nice, but I didn't have the guts to Use the Magnum for all the hops in the batch as originally intended. Alot of people are expecting this for the holiday parties, and I didn't want to change up the recipe to much on them.
+1 on Magnums. Very versatile. Great when you want a hoppy beer but don't want half your kettle full of hops before the massive flavor and aroma additions. Obviously they are great for German lagers as well. Galena is another good clean high alpha hop.
