Massive IBU?! Why?

[KiaOraBrew]

Ive run a Northern Brewer Pliny clone recipe through Brewers Friend to adjust the batch size because I've only got a 5 gallon fermenter for a 6 gallon recipe.

Its come out at around 200 IBU?! Whats up with that? Have I made some rookie error here?

Same kind of thing happened to me recently, i've done it many times without issue but couldn't work out why it happened as all looked correct.......maybe there is a glitch in Brewers Friend software ??

What temp is the whirlpool set to in the software?

212F I believe.

I think I've worked it out. Its adding IBU values to random dry hop additions. Specifically Simcoe.

Hi!
The software is assigning a lot of bitterness to your dry hops - this shouldn't happen.
Finding it difficult to deal with Imperial units

Also does the software give you the IBU before dilution at end of the boil?

Take a look now - I reviewed the IBUs and changed where applicable. Seems BF was adding IBU values at random but only it seems to Simcoe?!

Certainly not just Simcoe, seemed all and any hops too..........
