Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find any answers after searching the forum.
At the moment I tend to brew partial mash and when I put in all of my ingredients into BeerSmith the calculated IBU's come out far lower than expected. I'm just drinking an IPA made with Amarillo and Citra hops which BrewSmith calculated to be 33.2 IBU. I know from tasting it it is much higher than that and when I plug the same numbers into other software (Brewtoad and BeerEngine) it shows around 77IBU which I feel is much closer to what I'm tasting.
Can anyone please suggest what I'm doing wrong with BeerSmith to give such crazy bitterness figures.
Thanks
Matt
