help needed

HELLO, im planning my 1st AG, its the Fullers London pride out of the Graeme Wheelers book. When buying the ingredients i had advice that using 3 different bittering hops is unnecessary and all goldings would be fine for the whole boil. I have a few books and some brew software, but they all come out different, i need to know how much Goldings i need to use in grams at 4.5% AA for 30 EBU, thanks in advance

Doing a quick calculation in BeerEngine, I make it 65 g at 4.0% for 30 EBU, which is 58 g at 4.5 %.

Not sure I agree with the opinion that it won't make a difference, IMHO it will. It won't necessarily ruin it (probably won't), but I wonder if it will be close to London Pride. Having said that, if that's all you have, I'd use them...

Thanks for that, thats what i thought, i think he may have been trying to save me buying 4 different types of hops, i think i'll buy the other hops as i'd like to stick to the reciepe, just downloaded beer engine, be messing about for hours now, thanks again jerry

another Q, noticing in grahams book the AA of hops have changed, how do you adjust this so you still have the amount intended in the 1st place, im new to this so thanks for answering what may seem like silly Questions

Simple arithmetic.

Page 20 of Graham's book gives the details, but I'll replicate it here anyway.

New weight = (Original weight* A.A of original hops)/ A.A of new hops
