ibu scale: comprehending international bitterness units for beer

the rate of bittering is an important influence on the taste of beer, as the success in the marketplace of beers such as dogfish head 60 minute ipa has demonstrated. the ibu scale (international bitterness units) is the most accurate method for measuring bitterness based on the rate of adding hops during brewing. what does ibu mean and what is the ibu beer scale? ibu is an abbreviation for international bitterness units, and the ibu scale ranges from 0 to 120. while the scale can technically exceed 120 with the addition of more bittering compounds, it is designed to represent bitterness levels perceptible to the human tongue, with the ability to discern additional bitterness typically diminishing in the range of 100. ibus measure the parts per million of isohumulone found in a beer. to elaborate, ibus quantify beer bitterness by assessing the concentration of bittering compounds, including isomerized and oxidized alpha acids, polyphenols, and other bittering chemicals. isohumulone is the acid found in hops that gives beer its bitter bite to the taste buds. though the ibu scale can be used as a general guideline for taste, with lower ibus corresponding to less bitterness and vice versa, it's important to note that malt and other flavors can mask the taste of bitterness in beer.
