I would like brewing software that accounts for the flavor added by late hops and dry hopping. I've bene using Brew calculus but they don't factor late hop additions. Does Pro Mash or any other brewing software that you'd reccommend?
Thanks!

i'm not sure I understand your question.

hop flavor and aroma is not something that any brewing software that I have ever seen accounts for. the only thing I've seen is the bitterness calculated for you. late hops and dry hops add no bitterness. Hops have to be boiled for bitterness to be obtained from them, so late hops and dry hops will not impact the IBUs of a neer.

Yep, Walker is correct in that Promash, or any software that I have heard of can measure flavor. I think you just have to experiment with the advice you get from others.

too bad, that would be an interesting function

Agreed, if the brewing programs could tell me how my beer would taste, that sure would save me a lot of trial and error when creating recipes.
