Been looking at doing my first partial brew in the next week or so and found a nice easy recipe on here (http://homebrewandbeer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1966&start=120#p86903) that looked ok.
I put this into Brewmate (see below) but the bitterness seems to be really low. Is this because Brewmate isn't taking into account the bitterness of the kit?
I was also undecided as to whether I should boil all the fermentables or just a portion. I am assuming that if I boiled all the fermentables, this will reduce the bitterness of the kit.
Any help and guidance (or possible improvements) appreciated.
