Lets say a recipe calls for .5 oz amarillo added at minute 0 and .5oz added at 45 minutes.
Based on the formula provided by palmer:
http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter5-5.html
f(G) = 1.65 x 0.000125^(Gb - 1)
f(T) = [1 - e^(-0.04 x T)] / 4.15
I calculate that this will add 17 IBU's to my beer.
But I can also add 17 IBU's with a single .75 oz addition at minute 0.
So what is the point in putting the hops in at different times? Why not just add all of your hops in at minute 0 and adjust the quantities down to account for the time utilization? Seems it would be cheaper and easier to do it that way...
