So I finally got myself Beersmith and am playing around with a few recipes. Take it easy on me, I'm new to it and this may be a dumb question....
I am planning on making the extract version of Yooper's 60 minute IPA, so I plugged all the ingredients from the recipe. Easy enough. Under the beer profile, where it tells me what my brews are going to be when they grow up everything looks right... except the IBUs. With the exact same ingredients, and the 2.5 gallon boil, I am showing 157.4 where the recipe shows 49.8. Seems like more than a few points off. I love me some hops, but even that may be a little high for me...
Can anyone out there shed some light on what I am doing wrong?
