I like the tribute and by all means tweak the recipe as you please, just understand that IBU is a complicated calculation that is rarely accurate. Especially when you're steeping as wort temps are falling. That's why I listed it as an estimate. Also water profiles can enhance perceived bitterness independent of IBUs.

Let us know how it turns out.
