I have calculated the IBU value for a 1 gal batch of Sweet London Stout using multiple calculators on the internet and keep getting a value of between 70 and 92. I took a 5 gal recipe and divided it by 5 for my amounts. I thought a sweet stout should be between 20 and 40. What am I doing wrong? Will the Lactose addition bring the IBU down that much?
Here are my numbers for a 1 gallon batch:
2.5 initial boil volume
Initial boil Gravity: 1.048
Brewers Gold AA% 9%, Weight .4oz, time 60 min.
Fuggles AA% 4.5%, Weight .2oz, time 30 min.
1.6 oz. Lactose
Thanks from a frustrated newbie!
