I am brewing a Brewer's Best India Black Ale kit for my fourth homebrew. I just installed Beersmith on my computer so I could switch from kits to designing my own recipes and thought I'd give it a test run by inputting the kit recipe. The kit advertises 80-85 IBUs but Beersmith is telling me it will only be 35.8 IBUs which is clearly a pretty drastic difference. I'm mostly wondering where the discrepancy is coming from so I'll be able to account for it in the future and am confident the kit will probably taste fine.
Further info:
The weights, boil times, and AA% are correct on BS and are as follows
.75 oz 17.4% for 60 min
1 oz 10.9% for 40 min
1 oz 10.9% for 5 min
2 oz 10.9% dry hopped
TIA for any help. Even though this is my first post I've already learned plenty from this forum.
