The Little Red Brewster
Apprentice
I am brewing the same recipe twice and decided to name the brews separately and brew on different days so created the same recipe twice. To my surprise I noticed that the recipe predicted different things. For example IBU's differ, I looked very carefully at each of the hop profiles to ensure they were identical, same hop same alpha acid same beta acid both plugs both set at aroma both the same amount both boiled for the same length of time etc. As far as I can see each dimension is the same but one gives the IBU as 20.9 the other 22.7.
Colour is given as 21 and 22.1
It also shows water required as different even though nothing has changed between the recipes, why is that? Surely they should be identical.
This is not the only problem. I have changed my equipment profile to show that the boil off for a 27 litre batch is now 7 litres (I have added a second element). Despite creating new recipes since this change of profile BS fails to acknowledge this and gives boil off as 5.5 the previous amount I had in there.
All of this is very disturbing and is shaking my faith in the product
