Quick help needed please.

Hello folks, i'm brewing a hobgoblin clone at the moment. Could someone please help me calculate the amount of hops needed.
I need to add three lots of fuggles 4.5% and styrian goldings 5% 15g of each.
I have fuggles at 3.6% and Stryian goldings at 2%.
I should have worked it out last night but completely forgot.
:oops:

It's a trip to spec savers for me. :D

It depends on where the hops will be added to the wort. For bittering you will need to adjust the amount used to reach the same level of AA% so that means ~19g of the 3.6%AA Fuggles and ~48g of 2%AA Styrians. For use as late addition/aroma hops you can use the same weights as the original recipe.

Thanks BigEd, I was going to add the increased volumes all through the boil.
