I am working on Citra MO SMaSH using Beer Calculus.
10lb Marris Otter
Citra Pellets
1056 Yeast
I put it in with the boil at 3 gal for 60 minutes and ended up with hop additions:
.5oz@60
.25oz@45
.25oz@30
.5oz@5
.5oz Dry
And got 32 IBU.
I changed it to 6.5 gal for full boil and it jumped to nearly 60 IBU
I had to amend the additions to:
.5oz@60
.75oz@5
.5oz Dry to get it back down to about 32IBU.
Is there really such a dramatic difference in utilization?
Which way should I go create a light balanced Pale Ale?
