Hi team, apologies if this has been asked a million times before (I did skim through but couldn't quite find this). Maybe it's obvious to everyone else, but my question is hard to define, but here I go.
When I brew, I set the batch size to the 'fermentor volume' which is the amount I end up with in the fermentor. However, I always chuck everything in, I don't whirlpool or anything. Of course, my ending volume (the volume I actually bottle) once trub has settled is considerably less. For instance, this is my last recipe:
So, batch size was set to 12L because that's how much went in the fermentor, but I ended up only bottling 9.25L (yes, that's a lot of trub for such a volume, I can't quite understand it either!). Anyway, my question is - am I right in thinking that the IBU rating is based on the batch size of 12L, and therefore the actual IBU rating will be much higher due to the lower volume actually bottled?
Thanks!
Matt
