I've been brewing for a few years now, and one thing I've never done is adjust my hop AA% on my recipe to match the AA% on the Hop packaging. I've been doing some reading, and the method i'm looking to use is to adjust the AA% in recipe, then bump up the IBU slider to match the recipe specs.
My question is, should I bother or is the difference imperceptible? Is there a better way, aside from doing longhand on each of the contributions?
ex. the batch i'm brewing tomorrow has...
1oz Willamette @60 AA%=5.5, Actual AA%=4.1
.5oz Fuggles @45 AA%=4.5, Actual AA%=5.6
.5oz Willamette @30 AA%=5.5, Actual AA%=4.1
Software calculated my IBU at 29.3
Thanks in advance
