When I plug in those numbers the IBUs are over 80 but the stats on the beer per their website has IBUs around 38.
any ideas?
Are you using the default model or one of the other models? Tinseth and Rager will produce different estimates for the same inputs.Brewers friend
I remember seeing this before.
Bells is my favorite IPA but I’ve never dry hopped and just getting started I’ve got tons of cascade left, enough to justify not getting anything else right now. I have Goldings for my Bitters I’m making. I’m brewing a lot since I’ve got time sitting here...I usually aim for 50. I also never boil for 90 min.
I say go with what the recipe calls for first time. You may find 38 is good for you but when I drink the commercial version my taste buds tell me its closer to 50. Thats the bottle version. The draft version may be 38.
I would adjust my hops and boil for 60 min. I see no benefit to boiling 90 min.
FWIW I've brewed about 5 SNPA versions and none were close. I gave up trying.
The Bells Two Hearted is closer and better from a home brew standpoint.
