Is this possible? Searching only reveals confusing threads from years ago..

I have a recipe I'd like to add and then brew. I'd prefer to spend more time brewing than adding the recipe

It says 5 AAU Chinook (60 minutes).

My chinook in inventory is %10 alpha, so I know I need half an once. The recipe is for 5 gallons though I am not sure why this even matters. AAU has NOTHING top do with batch size. I don't wanna sit here with a calcuator for 10 minutes inputing hop additions for this recipe.
 
Hi,
  I've moved away from AAU as it is really inaccurate compared to IBUs.  However you can do simple calculations in any field so if you like you could simply enter 5/10 (the AAUs divided by the alpha percentage) in the amount field.
