I brewed a clone beer today but before i started I worked on the recipe and either the recipe is wrong as written or beer smith is calculating it wrong (I don't think so) or I am missing something. I am using the recipe from the BYO 250 classic clone recipes magazine for Terrapin Rye Pale Ale clone.
It states:
magnum: 1 oz 14 AAU 60 mins
Fuggle: .75 oz 3.75 AAU 30 mins
East Kent: .5 oz 2.38 AAU 20 mins
.5 oz 2.38 AAU 10 mins
Cascade: 1 oz 6.8 AAU 3 mins
total IBU: 45
So I assume it is including the Amarillo dry hop 16.4 AAU in the total. When I enter this recipe into beer smith, I get a total IBU of 59.8 with very different ibu's.
When I enter this info into beer smith I get:
Magnum 42.7 IBU
Fuggles 7.9
East Kent 20 mins 4.4
East Kent 10 mins 2.7
Cascade 2
Amarillo 0 dry hop
Why are the numbers so different? Am I missing something or is the recipe in the magazine wrong?
I decreased the magnum to .65oz and ended up with the 45 IBU total the recipe called for. Was the the right thing to do? That allowed me to keep the IBU within the range for the beer style.
Thanks!! ???
