I've got a Brewers Best kit (bb) that I'm trying to plug into Brewtarget or Brewsmith so I can figure out the hops for a full boil.

I've plugged in all the ingredients and set up the equipment as a 2.5 gal boil w/2.5 gal top off. Problem is the IBU's don't come out right, for the partial boil, they are way to low. 18 when the kit specifies 31-34.
If I can't replicate the original recipie I won't be able to let the software change it to a full boil.

Any Ideas where I'm going wrong?
