Hi little problem Basically just been trying to run a coopers pale ale recipe to 23L simple enough , using the Australian Pale Ale Extract (Coopers) with these figures, Weight - 1.7kg, Colour - 90EBC, Bitterness - 340IBU
But when I add all the ingredients to BeerSmith, the can IBU value of 340 IBU gal/Ib doesn't dilute the finished product in "Style Guide Comparison" (the green slider scales for altering recipe values).Thus showing a finished beer bitterness of 187.4IBU's , and I'm like what the? I want a value of 35IBU's.
I hope that is clear to you guys but can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here please, as I just can't get it? I know the 340IBU original value is for the 1.7kg extract can but why hasn't it diluted to match the batch volume?
Can I remove the hopped extract figure and just leave it blank as then everything seems to work as normal, confused?
Thanks in advance.
