I've found the tool on Brewtoad to be a little inaccurate (I haven't found a way to alter the SG of a partial boil... possible?), so I use Palmer's chart for utilization. However, my theoretical gravities tend to weigh in beneath his low end (1.030); I'm clocking at 1.015-1.025. Couple of questions:
1) Is a gravity < 1.030 problematic for flavor profiles? Problematic for anything?
2) Short of creating a regression, is there any numbers/experience with partial boils this low?
3) Would anyone recommend dropping some extract after my mini-mash to hit 1.030 or is this current procedure fine?
The reason I bring this up is b/c Brewtoad is clocking my recipe in at 51 IBUs whereas my homework calculations are hitting 122. Thanks!
