I've been lucky this year and have a bumper crop of hops growing. Found a recipe that I will brew using the hops.
I know BeerSmith considers whole hops as "leaf".
An online AHA article describes using fresh, wet hops.
"Wet hops contain about 80 percent water, so you?ll need to use more than you would when using dry hops. In general, four to six times as many wet hops are needed by weight as dry hops. For example, one ounce of pelleted dry hops would be the equivalent of four to six ounces of wet hops. You get the idea."
My question in BeerSmith. How do I properly build a recipe knowing I'll need 4 to 6 times wet hops vs dry hops without having BeerSmith calculate an inaccurate IBU?
