alpha acid percentage in dave lines book

Post by slurp the apprentice » Wed May 07, 2008 8:59 pm

I was given a copy of brewing beers like those you buy[12th edition] but does not state a/a levels of hops in the recipes just the amount of grams.Do newer copies have this info if not is there a way of working it out [hop a/a records for the year of first publication?]

I'd use the 10 year averages . . . which come from the big book of brewing IIRC and there is always the table in Grahams book to use :)

ive always just knocked 20% off the hops bill myself, not a particularly scientific method but seems to work. :D

With Mr Lines recipes I apply all the formula's that I have learnt from Jims and apply them to his recipies.
I first work out my Target OG, factor in my efficiency. From that you can work out what level of IBU's(EBU's? Which do we on jims prefer?).

Daves grist percentages are bang on the money
