Howdy!
im pretty new to brewing and i have a question that i cannot find being directly answered.
No matter the boil size, no matter the gravity of wort, is my maximum ibu possible 100-120?
So its scientific fact that you can only get 100 ibu's no matter if its 20 oz's in 2 gallons or 20 oz's in 10 gallons (given the amount of malt/fermentables is 1:1)? I dont get how you can only extract a finite amount of 'bitterness' no matter the amount of water used.
Sorry if im talking circles around myself, using incorrect terminology, and/or sounding like a fool.
Thanks!
