I'm not seeing any change in IBU when working with an extract recipe that makes use of the late addition of some of the extract. I am just looking for some confirmation that the problem is on my end, as I was pretty sure this used to work for me.
I create a new recipe - type: Extract. Batch size: 5 gal. Calculate boil volume based on my equipment profile. Boil time: 60 minutes.
I add 1.5 oz of 5% AA hops for the 60 minutes of boil time.
Whether I add 2 lbs of 1.036 SG LME up front and 4 lbs with only 10 minutes remaining, or whether I add all 6 lbs of LME for the entire 60 minutes, I get the same IBU (36.7, Rager). Even if I check the "add after boil" for some of the LME, the IBU never changes.
Shouldn't I be seeing a variation in the IBU as I apply these various tweaks? Or is there something obvious that I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.
