So I bought some Maris Otter (7.5KG) and a bit of Crystal (.5KG) and I'm trying different hop schedules with 90gms Challenger and 90gms Citra. FWIW I'll be using that new Thames Valley stuff (1882PC)...
Anyroad...
I'm tapping various schedules into Beersmith and seem happy with a regime that gives me 60IBU ... slightly distracted, I'm surfing the information superhigh... sorry typing stuff into Google's and come across Beer Calculus: the same schedule yields only 37IBU's
Question is, why the discrepancy?
-Edit- it's worse the other way - i try for the 60IBU in Beer Calculus, get it (after adding 20gms extra Nelson @ 60!) and type the numbers into beersmith - 45gms Citra and 30gms Challenger (@ 60) and I'm already on 67IBU!!
From experience, I'd tend towards Beersmith...
