RE: Seven Day Beer Challenge Day #4
I believe IBU is initial brewing units.
I'm not for certain most beers are measured by specific gravity and they calculate the alcohol produced by what the gravity changes after the ferment.
International Bitterness Units guess I should hit the search before I pop off.
It's all good. I thought that's what it meant but I wasn't sure.
Thanks for the explanation. Isn't it true though that usually the higher the IBU, the more bitter it is?
Generally yes the higher the ibus the bitterness goes up but I think there are exceptions
It’s all in the style of the beer. Stouts tend to have higher IBUs but can come off as sweet.
True but in general it holds true either bitterness or hoppier
This is true.
Either way, it’s a tasty beer!
