For those that use software allowing different IBU formulas to be used, which one do you use? I have ProMash which is set by default to Rager. Has anyone found one of the other formulas to be more accurate?
Bromley said:Thanks for the feedback everyone. I was curious because I've been a little dissatisfied with the bitterness in my IPA's even though the Rager formula shows IBU's in the 70s.

YooperBrew said:Hmmm- can you switch to Tinseth in that recipe, just to see what the Tinseth scale says?
Bromley said:Yeah, just got done doing that. I had 77.3 IBU with the Rager and it dropped significantly down to 68.6 with Tinseth.
Soulive said:Try changing to Tinseth then. Are you plugging in the accurate alpha acid %'s?
Soulive said:Problem solved (hopefully)
Bromley said:ProMash asks for a concentration factor when you switch to Tinseth. Anyone able to explain what they're talking about. Are you leaving it at the default 1.3?
