Hello,
I very much a beginner, ive been using the Brew-Masters Bible and John Palmers How to Brew books extensively to learnt he nuts and bolts of brewing.
im trying to evolve to the next level and formulate some of my own simple recipes.
I am using the formulas and calculations in Palmers book very closely
I have recently also downloaded BeerSmith2 as this seemed to be a very popular homebrew program
my question is why (or should I be concerned) that when I input my recipe into BeerSmith2 why doesn't the math match up?
just to put an example to it I thoroughly calculated my IBUs using Palmers formulas for an American Ale at 36 but inputing my exact info into the software it calculates 29.1
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance
