![]() No where in BeerSmith or online can I find out how BeerSmith is coming up with it's utilization numbers. I understand exactly how Glenn's tool works because he describes the math in the link I pasted above. Still far from Glenn's tool which predicts a 15% utilization (assuming an average boil gravity of 1.099). To make sure I'm comparing apples to apples, I remove that 10% from 18.6% which gives us 16.9% utilization. 186 or 18.6% utilizationīeerSmith bumps the utilization by 10% if using pellet (which I am). All of the parameters like original gravity or color are automatically calculated. Designing recipes has the same ease as brewing beer. You can also add your own custom fermentables by taking a Brix reading and defining the color. Given that and my example above for Beersmith:Ħ3.5 * 41.64 = 2644.14mg of AA or 2.64 g of AA BeerSmith 3 comes preloaded with many fruit juices, fruits, and honey. It appears that BeerSmith (and some other online tools) are using the pre-boil gravity rather than average gravity in its calculation, which I would argue is applying the Tinseth method incorrectly. This is more than 10 IBUs off from BeerSmith.Ĭan someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?! Putting 1.099 into the Tinseth tool gives me 51 IBUS. ![]() Given the parameters above, the average gravity should be 1.099 (not 1.074) during a 60 minute boil. The only way I can get the Tinseth tool to agree, is to plug in a pre-boil gravity of 1.074. The Tinseth tool is asking for overall "Boil Gravity" which I take to mean the average gravity during the boil. ![]() However, the utilization is way off from the Tinseth tool. BeerSmiths new design tab lets you design great extract recipes and new extract features have been added in BeerSmith 3. ![]() contains a spreadsheet called beer-smith-water.xlsx which has my version of. The software was clearly built with years of experience in making beer and is also clearly a reflection of his workflow. I got BeerSmith to agree on IBU assuming the Hop Bitterness Tool's Original Gravity means pre-boil gravity. Beer Smith 3.0 is a interesting piece of software written by Brad Smith that was made to design and help you implement beer recipes. Hi, can someone please explain this discrepancy to me? ![]()
