So I'm a little confused,
I attempted to copy the avant garde-american pale ale recipe from gordon strong's brewing better beer into beer smith I ended up with est OG of 1.057, 18.3 EBC(9.3 SRM),6.5 ABV which was all pretty close to the recipe being 1.060 OG, 10 SRM, and 6.3 ABV. The one that's confusing me is the IBU's 45 in gordon's recipe and it came in at 79.7 in beersmith i've adjusted all the AA's to the same as in the book which helped but the only way i could get it down to 45 was to play with the hop utilization factor and take it down to 57% am I on the wrong path or have I got it totally wrong :-[ any help would be awesome
cheers
