I'm using two different applications for recipe creation, Hopville.com and Beer Tools (only one that works native on Macs). I get to wildly different IBU amounts from each. Which is correct?
I'm making Northern Brewers Belgium Strong Golden Ale extract recipe with some changes to hop amounts and boil time (because of Hopville.com calculator). Here is what I did:
2 gl boil and added the rest in the carboy to equal 5 gl
3 oz 3.9% Saaz 90 min
1 oz 3.2% Saaz 1 min
The O.G. was around 1.078
Hopville.com IBU 27.1
Beer Tools IBU 44.3
Which is correct? Are they using different formulas?
