Hop adjustment

[bolty]

I have some Styrian Golding hops at 3.3 % alpha (meant to be 5 in the recipe).

Do I have to do a hop adjust for my bittering hops (first hop addition) only, or for all 3 additions (first hop addition, flavour (30 mins) and aroma (flame out))? :wha:

Cheers

That's a very interesting question. I tend to adjust for all additions but I've never thought about it until now.

I'm now also wondering if I need to adjust anything other than the bittering hops. Will the 3% hops add the same flavour and aroma as the 5% in equal quantities? :wha: I have no idea. Might be worth doing two side by side batches to find out.

Great first post btw :thumb:
