Good to hear that you're a fan of the Herslev stuff-I see their beer occasionally when I'm over there but haven't tried too much of it, will have to do so now. Will have to try the Barack when I get the chance. <br />Did you have a heavy suitcase coming home? <br />Look forward to reading more.slainte34https://www.blogger.com/profile/01592136859201785400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-10329152842951687762010-05-12T11:41:39.793+01:002010-05-12T11:41:39.793+01:00Sometimes when I give people a beer I made they as...Sometimes when I give people a beer I made they ask what the IBUs are, and I always say I have no idea. It's just not a number I pay attention to, the way I'd look at the gravity or even the carbonation level.<br /><br />I'm told humans cannot taste any difference above 100 IBUs or so. I'm also told that the theoretical IBUs, which is what most beers advertise, are a massive exaggeration of the real IBUs as calculated in a lab.<br /><br />We don't need IBUs. They're meaningless. Ignore them and they'll leave us alone.<br /><br />(One flameproof suit, please.

I wonder at what IBU level, does the bitterness reach a peak, could you tell the difference between a beer that had 500 IBU's versus one with 1000?Mark (Halite)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13889456411151537055noreply@blogger.com
