Hello to everyone, today im here looking for some help with my brewing, specifically bitterness of my ipa, i've changed my water source and i've already modified it in order to make an "ideal" ipa water, lately i've been relying on beersmith to do my IBU calculations, but once my beer is ready, it doesnt seem to match my beersmith calculations, bitterness seems almost non-present, for example beersmith says that using 2oz of 12%AA magnum, will deliver 100+ IBUs on a 5gal batch , once I taste my finished beer it doesnt even taste like a quarter of those IBUs, by the way, heres my water profile, i'm using palmers sugested water parameters, is this happening because I'm not using enough bittering hops? because flavor hop additions are coming out real nice
