I have had Beersmith for many years but haven't used it because it seemed too complicated for me. I have finally given it a go, put in a couple of my favourite recipes and my IBU figure is in the basement with one but OK with the other. I use the no chill method, ie. transfer the hot wort to a cube and let it cool naturally overnight. I have been led to believe that this method extracts more bitterness from hops. I cannot find anything in Beersmith which refers to the no chill method. Am I missing something?
