I don't know if I have a setting incorrect or just don't understand how BS calculates IBU's. Here's the story:
My next brew is a Russian Imperial Stout. I have two hop additions. A 60 minute: 2 oz. Magnum @ 14% AA which, on the ingredient list says contributes 93.3 IBU. Then a 3 minute addition: EKG @ 5% AA, which according to the list contributes 8.3 IBU for a grand total of 101.6 IBU.
However, down on the style slider it has calculated 65.2 IBU, which is what I want. Which is correct? Why are they so different? Do I need to fix something?
Thanks, Steve
