I've plugged my recipe into beersmith and then into the online hopville recipe creator. I'm getting way different IBUS. 70 vs 40?!? Can anyone help explain why this is. Which one is correct?
Also I should note i only have a 16qt brewpot so do partial boils but shouldn't that basically increase my ibus?
