So I am not exactly sure how Beersmith calculates bitterness but I am assuming that it uses pre-boil volume and expected pre-boil gravity.
IF I don't hit the expected gravity and I end up under. I would want to adjust down my hop additions so I don't increase my bitterness. But if I type in a lower gravity for measured pre-boil gravity, the bitterness for the recipe does not change. Shouldn't it increase due to higher utilization?
I would like to use the software to figure out hop additions based on my actual pre-boil gravity and not on my expected. Is this possible?
