The IBU from the spreadsheet looks low, but the mescaline provides plenty of bitterness to compenstate for the lack of boiling hops.

Add 300mg/L mescaline at bottling and bottle 500mL per bottle. Mescaline can be added in boil, but adding at bottling allows more precise measurement. This amout will provide more than sufficient bittering to make up for lack of boiling hops, and the flavoring hops mask the sharp bitterness and almost convince that it comes form abundant bittering hops.
Carbonation: 1.5 vol
Tasting: 2 pints will give you a minimum dose of mescaline, 3 pints, a 12 hour space trip. DO NOT DRINK MORE THAN 4 PINTS. The high alcohol hits first, hopefully putting you in a cheery mood for the coming journey. Some people may find that it can add to unpleasant nausea though. Low carbonation is a must for this reason.
