MedicMang said:Aren't cascades lesser alphas than centennials? Should I adjust? I'm still not read up on how the alpha thing works.
The ibu's for each addition are: 25 IBU at 60m, 9 IBU at 30m, 2.5 IBU at 5m. Look for an online IBU calculator to figure out what amounts you need to hit those numbers with the alpha acids of your cascades. Since the 5 minute addition is really just aroma and the IBU is not the important figure in its case, just use 1/2 oz cascade for that addition.
