You basically put some of your bittering hops in the wort that comes from the mash tun before you start boiling. Typically you add 10% IBU to account for this if you brewing software doesn't do it or you do recipes by hand.

I use Brewtarget software for now and i'm not sure how it measures IBUs as an overall % or how you add 10% before the boil. Is that 10% of my overall target IBU?
