When I use late extract additions in my partial mash recipes, the IBUs do not seem to adjust depending on the amount of time the extract is in the boil, where version 1.4 accounted for this. For example, I have a barleywine where I add 8 lbs of extract at the end of the boil for the last 5-10 minutes. If I set the Late Extract Boil Time to 1 minute, the IBUs calculate as 58.6. If I set the Late Extract Boil Time to 45 minutes, the IBUs still calculate as 58.6. Now, If I check the "Add After Boil" box, regardless of what the Late Extract Boil Time is, the IBUs jump to 79.5. 79.5 IBUs seems correct for adding the extract after the boil, but adding the extract for only the last minute of the boil should not cut the IBUs to 58.6. Version 1.4 of Beersmith would adjust the IBUs relative to how long the late extract addition was in the boil, so in the same recipe, a late extract addition of 1 minute yields 72.1 IBUs where a late extract addition of 15 minutes yields 69.1 IBUs. 30 minutes calculates as 65.9 IBUs, and so on... I'd like to have this functionality back, as I am an exclusive partial mash/late extract brewer and found the IBU calculations based on the duration of late extract additions to be super helpful.
