So when doing full boils for extract, what is the percentage of hops you deduct? I thought it was like 25%...so if the recipe calls for 1oz of hops for a 60min boil you would use 3/4 oz of hops? Is this right?
Not to mention, partial-boil recipes aren't always the same boil volume anyway. Scaling a 2-gallon boil recipe up to a 5-gallon boil will require a much more significant hops adjustment than scaling up a 3+ gallon boil recipe to 5gal.Bike N Brew said:Hop utilization isn't linear over either wort gravity or boil time, so no quick-and-dirty adjustment factor will work for all recipes.
