Got any cheaper hops to use for bittering, not to waste those on it?

Admiral, northern brewer, magnum. That kind of thing?

Maybe work out what ibu you want by looking up the beers you like. Then if you don't want to pay a subscription use a free calculator like ' beer engine' that can be found on Jims Beer kit website. That'll help you know how much of each to throw in.

If you want something like Dead Pony or Punk the key is to use plenty of late hops and a big dry hop addition. Have you seen DIY dog? That will give you a good insight. Online brewers friend is good for quickly knocking together recipes, there is a link at the top of this site.

I'm making a lot of assumptions about as I don't know the size of your brew or the AA of your hops. But I would split the hop additions 50/50 and only do a 20 boil adding hops into the boil at 20, 15,10, 5 and 0 and then allow the hops to steep. You may try something along the lines of 10, 16, 20, 20, 40 gram additions. Then do a big dry hop. In my opinion that will maximize hop flavor and aroma and keep the IBUs down.

I've assumed you are making 21liters and that the hops average out at about 11% AA when combined.

I would do this if you want IBUs that low. Would make best use of those hops too.
