I'm not sure if this is the right place, but short of creating an account at brewsmith forums.
I'm looking to make an imperial stout recipe, so I downloaded the trial software and have started adding ingredients. However, I'm confused by the "equipment" drop down and the effects on the recipe.
Depending on whether I selected (Pot 2 gallon Extract) or a (Pot 5 gallon Mini-BIAB) has a huge impact on the Hops IBU. Unfortunately, I'm not sure which is correct, if either.
I.e.
Using the 2 gallon/Extract equipment selection. It says that 1.5oz of Chinook is 7.3 IBU.
Using the 5 Gallon/BIAB equipment. It says that 1.5 oz Chinook is 49.9 IBU.
I have made other extract kits that were brewed in 2.5 gallon pot that didn't come anywhere close to the 7.3 IBU. (IMO)
So which is it?!?
Thanks,
