Guys,
I've been an all grain brewer for a while but recently did a Dead Guy Ale clone that was a partial mash/boil and can't get BeerSmith to give me the numbers that I'm looking for. I took the recipe from BYO and had a friend double check them in ProMash and they were spot on so it's obviously something that I'm just not 'getting'. Need help.
I've attached the recipe here, but the main issue I am having is that I can't get the IBUs right. BS shows ~31 and the recipe is for 40. There's a late addition of LME at 15 minutes that I accounted for but maybe I'm just missing something obvious.
Here's the run down:
- Steep grains in 1G water
- Removed and added DME, Munich LME + water to get to 3G volume
- Brought to boil, added Perle
- Added irish moss, yeast nutrient and light LME @ 15
- Added Saaz at flameout
I have a 4G brewpot - maybe it's the settings that go along with that equipment profile that I need to adjust?
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks.
