Hey everyone, you probably know this chart already:
http://hopschart.com/zoom.html
Since my LHBS doesn't have a great variety of hops it would be useful for me to have a quick reference guide to hops substitution, so I decided to make my own based on this chart, since most hops subs charts I find don't specify if the substitutes suggested are for bittering or aroma. This chart is pretty useful in that way, but it isn't clear to me how to interpret it. For example, in the aroma section, are those percentages in w/w? And for humulene in the apollo hops for example, is the percentage really 1.35 or 1.35 minus 0.8? Because if it was 1.35, then it would mean that farnesene and other oils comprise most of the oil percentage, while myrcene comprises the least, right?
Thanks in advance for your help, I'm a bit confused about this...I'll post what I found out when I have all the info I need.
