Disappearing IBU

Somehow I keep losing all of my IBU. This is happening across all a bunch of different types of recipes I've tried. I still get normal ABVs but my flavor profile seems somewhat off and I end up with almost no IBU. I saw some other post claiming that somehow the advanced counter-flow cooler is responsible but I've only seen one person claiming that. Anybody else have similar issues?

Advanced counter chiller

The advanced counter chiller completely removes the IBU from the wort. Can you tell me, is this a brewing magic or a bug?

100% not a brewing thing must be a bug

I have this problem too :( I also think it's a big, so I reported it.

The Wort Plate Chiller has the same issue, sadly. Only the Immersion Coil works right for me. A shame, but better than nothing.

Happens for me as well when using the advanced counter-flow cooler.
Must be a bug.

There are also some people commenting on that post reporting the same issue, like me.

You can confirm it for yourself. Hook up your boiled wort to an Advanced Counter-Flow Chiller or Advanced Wort Plate Chiller, look at the boiling pot and enable X-Ray Mode ('G'). You'll see the IBU disappearing into the winds.

However, "almost" no IBU sounds strange. So there could be another cause. When I chill the wort to the indicated temperature (20°C), all bitterness is usually long gone.

Yeah it's definitely the advanced conter-flow cooler. Everything has been so much better since I stopped using it.

That's what I've just noticed too... 0 IBUs on any brew since using the advanced cooler. Job still accept it though... weirdos...

Particularly noticeable as this problem prevents cooling when using the Brew Kettle, as the Immersion Coil is not suitable for it. :C
