pollux, I got very different hop figures to you...are you set for pellets?
heres what I got.

Batch Size: 23.00 L
Boil Size: 10.00 L
Estimated OG: 1.038 SG

1.00 kg Light Dry Extract (15.8 EBC) Dry Extract 35.1 %
1.70 kg coopers real 23.4ibu (37.8 EBC) Extract 59.6 %
0.10 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 30L (59.1 EBC) Grain 3.5 %

Notes:
------
kit added at flameout, BG=1037
Note the difference on the hopping compared to yours....ahh, pennys dropped. You had
all of the extract added post boil....I had the ldm boiled. Well, doing it that way gives you lower utilisation....in the case of upping the flavour on a kit, its not necessarily a bad thing. That way you can add more hop g/L, for flavour, and have less bitterness.
Given that you said you want 55% bugu...its not going to happen with this kit, at this grav. Even without the hops, the kit contributes 23.4IBU in 23L, which by itself is 60% bugu at 1039.....

This gives 65.7% BUGU, which I think is more what you're after...a little higher in grav perhaps, but that will help balance the additional couple of bugu points.
Oh, and on pre boil gravity in the brewsheet....beersmith has a glitch. When you put something to be added end of boil, it calculates the hopping correctly on the actual BG, and in the case of partials, has the correct BG in the efficiency tool, but for some wierd reason, the BG shown on the brewsheet is with all extracts added.....if you change the type from extract to partial, and then click on efficiency, it will show you the actual projected BG correctly. Gotta love the computer world.......
Anyway, hope this is more to your liking.
