Beersmith Ibu/sg Ratio

[bignath]

Hi all,

probably seems like a dumb question, but the IBU/SG ratio in Beersmith - is that more hoppy the higher the number, or more malty?

The higher the ratio the more the beer is balanced towards bitterness. I like the IBU/SG ratio for help formulating recipes but this http://beercolor.netfirms.com/balance.html goes a bit more in depth.
