Probably the most well known brewing platform, BeerSmith is a great choice brewers who really want to track their brews and create their own recipes. Specifically, Beersmith calculates more IBUs in the shorter boils. Brewer’s Friend also has many great free brew day sheets and calculators on their site as well.

One thing I noticed recently, to my surprise, was that my IBU calculations in Beersmith show up a fair bit higher than they would in online calculators. Download a free trial of BeerSmith Desktop.

I just created a test recipe and when I add top-up water in the fermentation/bottling section, the water volume in the mash section decreases, the pre-boil.
