In figuring out IBU's for recipies... I've been using the formula on pg. 353 of The Brewmaster's Bible (oz's of Hops x AA x utilization / 7.25).
Last night I downloaded Beer Smith, and have been punching in some of the stuff I've been working on, and quickly realized that it figures out the IBU differently.
For Instance in one which I had figured had 31 IBU's, Beer Smith is telling me 22.5 IBU's... its like that for all of them... Beer Smith's IBU's comes out significantly lower that what I'm getting throught the TBB formula.
Why is that?
