Did I over-do the Hops in this IPA?

Did you overdo the hops in this IPA? Well, if it tastes too bitter for you after carbonating, then yes, you did. But what do you mean when you say you tasted it right away? Before fermentation? If so, keep in mind the yeast cells are going to take some of the isomerized alpha acids (the main bittering component) with them when they flocculate.

 

I'd stick to the original plan…as vikeman said, depending on the strain, you'll usually lose something like 20% of the iso-alpa acids to yeast flocculation (iirc)

 

Assuming that is 5 gallons, based on that recipe I'd say you are good. I also agree with everything said above. after fermentation and a short conditioning period, the bitterness will fade/blend nicely and I think you'll be happy with that beer.

 

.......I don't understand the question

 

no..you will be fine
.

 

If you age it for a while, it should be delicious. If you do age it, some of the bitterness will mellow a bit (it will still be plenty bitter) but the "green" hop flavors will fade (FWIW, in my book (and opinion) that's a good thing...some will disagree with that, and that's ok. 46 years of homebrewing has made me a believer). With aging, it will also unfortunately lose some aroma...but it's an ok tradeoff... I'll take that over the nasty "green" hop flavors anytime.

 

This does not look like a lot to me. I would think most experienced ipa Brewers want more late and dry hops and many might try to reduce bitterness, but I doubt the finished beer will seem unapproachable to the typical ipa brewer.

 

What exacty do you mean by trying it right away?
Beer is a living vessel, and it will change.
If that is a 5gal yield. That definitely does not look like an overdone hop billing.

 

Overbittered, not overhopped, imho
