Does beersmith adjust for FWH when you click the option for it? Should I adjust the time when FWH option is active?
When indicating using FWH, what amount of boil time do you set? I have read that FWH is equivolent to 20 minutes boil, but since the hops will be in the wort for the full boil time, should it be set to 60 or 90, or do you just Zero it out? When changing the boil time length, the IBU's change.
Help please
GilaMinumBeer, thats what I had been doing until I started to think about some articles I had read referring to 20 minutes and longer effects on IBU's.
Perhaps I am stupid or just didn't explain correctly. When you indicate FWH, the software will display a different IBU content if you have "boil time" minutes on that drop down screen. If you put it to 20 (still selecting FWH) you get X IBU's. If you change the "boil time" minutes to 60, then the IBU's are higher. I am just trying to understand what to do with the "Boil time" minutes display to show the proper IBU's for the recipe.
