I am working on an all grain recipe that calls for 60 IBU. Using Beersmith 1.4, if calculated with Rager, the recipe calls for 3.6 oz of hops. If calculated with Tinseth, the recipe shifts to 4.5 oz of hops - nearly 1 additional ounce.
That 4.5 oz in Tinseth changed back to Rager results in 85.5 IBU.
I am confused as to which calculation I should use. The bottom line is that I need 60 IBU.
Am I missing something?
Doesn't the bittering calculation make or break the recipe and taste?
