I just noticed that if I adjust the boil time in Beersmith that also changes the IBU values assigned to each hop addition even though the addition has a specific time assigned to it.
For example if the boil time is set to 60 minutes and I have a Mosiac 12.8 AA addition for 60 minutes Beersmith shows 49 IBUs. However if I change to a 120 minute boil time, meaning I boil for 60 minutes then had hops for 60 minutes, that same 60 minute Mosaic addition shows 51.7 IBUs.
It seems to me that boiling time prior to the hop addition should not have any affect on the amount of IBUs added. What am I missing?
