    IBUs stuck at zero ?

    I'm pretty sure 8oz of Centennial boiled for 60 minutes should have a non-zero IBU

    Opinions on mIBU scale vs. Rager/Tinseth/etc.

    I've never used it before, but it seems to make more sense than the others. Your thoughts?

    IBU calculation rounding issues when using grams

    There seems to be an issue when adding hops to a recipe in the recipe builder and using grams as the unit.

    Hop Utilization formula: maybe too high ?

    Hi BF Forum! Im debating with my friend about the IBU, specially Tinseth formula, from Brewers Friend. There's a lot of variation, i know, but Brewer's Friend seems to be the higher IBU number comparing to most sources. Since the base formula is simple, AAU basically equal, so the "problem"...
