Whirlpool Flameout claculations for IBU

Post by dmcaspe »

Hi.
I noticed a tremendous addition to IBU when the option "whirlpool/Flameout" is selected. If hops are added below 170°F isomerization is negligible. This is why many people actually do whirlpool hop additions is for flavor, not bitterness. What can be done to fix this?

Set the %U to 0% for that ingredient. This can be done by editing the value in the ingredient list.
