Hi fellow home brewers.
I did a 60 min boil yesterday. Heres how it went down.
I steeped 500g of Crystal Malt for 30 mins at 150 f in about 3-4 litres of water.
After this, I had this boil schedule using zythos:
20grams 60mins
40grams 30mins
20grams 15mins
Once this cooled I added it to my 23 litre fementor with 1.5kg Coopers Real Ale, 1.8kg Muntons LME and 500g of dextrose. I filled it up to 23 litres, sprinkled on my Safale US-05 and its going good.
Now, on Beersmith and Hopville, when I adjust the volume of water I boiled with, it seems to assume that I added all my fermentables into the 3-4 litres of water and therefore my hops did not do their job properly and I get an IBU rating of like 7!!!!!
Is there anyway to change this so it gives me a correct IBU rating?
