Nevermind. I believe I figured it out. If I add a portion of the extract at flameout, the IBUs become very close. I think this is the issue even though the recipe doesn't say add at the end.

I bought an IPA kit and the recipe says the IBUs should be 65. I ran the recipe through BeerSmith and it is telling me 43. That's a vast difference. Curious if this happens to others and how to properly handle it. I really would like 60+ IBUs for my IPA

Thank you pigroaster

I'm using just a picnic tap

I plan on kegging for an outdoor 4th party. I live in Florida so it will be melting hot then. I've read a few different posts on here about kegging for parties and such. But wanted to pitch my set-up/scenario and see if anyone has any better suggestions or ideas. I don't plan on buying any new...

Research isn't so bad. You learn a few things along the way! Coincidentally enough though I may just do extract because I'm feeling lazy about this recipe lol.....

We aren't talking about DME or extracts :)

The book says the recipe is a Bavarian Wheat. It states the wheat, pilsner and some caramel.

Hello - I was given a Russian book about beer making. I am going to attempt to make a recipe from it. It's of course all written in Russian so some items get lost in translation. Anyways I'm doing a wheat beer. It lists "light wheat". I've been looking over the internet and not truly finding...

Not sure this is relevant since it's an extract batch. But I could be wrong. In fact, my wife always says I'm wrong ;)

Hmmm.....interesting thought. It's interesting because as of late I have been using purchased spring water. Now, a batch or two, I did not use spring water and used water from my tap. I'd like to say I'm an awesome note taker and noted which water I used. However I suck and can't say for...

Lol dang it guys I knew this would be tough. Definitely not oxidation. I know that taste. Yes I mean baby powder Mainer. Just taking a stab as describing it. I never use detergents or anything scented. Maybe phenols? If I was forced with a gun to my head to choose from the most common I'd...

I recently brewed a batch of beer and it has a strong 'off flavor'. I can't easily describe it. It's not one of the common off flavors such as buttery or astringent. The best I can do is say powdery. Now, I've never stuck powder into my mouth, but I imagine if I dumped a small amount into my...

Someone sells a Yuengling clone kit? Say what??.......
