Ibu Help In Beersmith 2.

[Mitchjazz]

I am trying to use beersmith 2 for my first extract brew. i am following Dr Smurno's extract recipie. Using Coopers Sparkling Ale 1.75 and Coopers wheat malt extract 1.5kg along with some crystal. My prob is from what beersmith is telling me the EBC is around 46 and very dark. Im guessing this is not correct for a pale ale? (could be wrong). I am using the add on for coopers in beersmith aswell. Any ideas?

I put IBU in the topic.... mistake (EBC)

Also the IBU is high aswell.

Go to this thread:

and find IanH's spreadsheet and download it. It has Dr Smurto's recipe already loaded into it. Just something else if you are having dramas with Beer Smith 2

If you can wait til tonight I have been working on an ingredient file for the Coopers products in Beersmith. It includes the correct EBC and IBU. Will upload it when I get home.

Probably a dumb question, but it would explain the problems - have you got your Batch Volume right?

Lazy- I checked out that spreadsheet and when I put in the reciepie it says all is good but in beer smith it ain't so...
Keifer - no probs not going to put it down until tommorrow that would be great.
Pyrosx- I think so mate 8 ltr boil - 23 total?
Do you know if wirflock has an expiry I've had some in the fridge for 12 months not sure if I should use it?

Indeed it does as I still do partials using a kit can everynow and then and have to use a different program to get it working. I realised I have missed of the Thomas Coopers range so will work on it tonight and get it uploading asap. I will start a new topic though.
