I have been building beers with BrewMasters brew builder for the last couple of batches I've done. First of all what a neat concept to come up with and a very user friendly way to mix and match ingredients to make up your own beer for free. Of course when you punch in your recipe you also get all the expected readings (OG, FG, IBUs, SRM, & ABV) which is nice as well. I also have beersmith but have forgotten about it just because I can draw up my recipe and then order it straight from their site.
Now I am finding that the biggest difference between Beersmiths numbers and Brewmasters is in IBUs.
Beersmith is usually 10 IBUs higher than what Brewmasters shows. Which one is closer to being accurate in your opinion? A beer that is 40 IBUs and a beer that is 50 is a beer that is noticeably different if I'm not mistaken?
