How do I find out what my ibu is? Heard there are calculators but not sure where to look

I use Brewer's friend to work up recipes. Punch in your grains and hops, and it spits out what you need. There is also a graph available on line that will tell you what is a balanced, mild or bitter beer for a given original gravity. It's a useful tool because low OG beers tend to seem more bitter with the same IBUs as high OG beers. Here is a link: http://finnhillbrewing.blogspot.com/2011/04/bugu-ratios.html

I use Beersmith and/or brewers friend. However, here a how to calculate it from John Palmer: http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter5-5.html

That chart is way too small for IPAs

I just added my recipe calculator that I used to keep in a spreadsheet to my new homebrew webapge. Does the basics including IBU's.
