I must warn you, this will probably be confusing. So Here it goes.
I'm making a Fat Tire Clone and when putting in the BYO recipe
5 lbs. Laaglander plain extra-light DME
0.50 lb. crystal malt (20° Lovibond)
0.50 lb. crystal malt (40° Lovibond)
0.50 lb. carapils malt
0.50 lb. Munich malt
0.50 lb. biscuit malt
0.50 lb. chocolate malt
3 AAUs Willamette pellet hops (0.66 oz. at 4.5% alpha acid)
1.33 AAUs Fuggle pellet hops (0.33 oz. at 4% alpha acid)
2 AAUs Fuggle pellet hops (0.50 oz. at 4% alpha acid)
1 tsp. Irish moss
2/3 to 3/4 cup corn sugar to prime
Wyeast 1056 or BrewTek CL-10
With the AAU Calculations BeerSmith comes up with approx 9IBU as compared to the 16 suggested by the brewer.
So my question is.
Which is more accurate? The Beersmith formula or AAu's???
Thanks
