I got my ingredients for upcoming hefe and noticed the Hallertauer hops had a 8.7 AA%. My recipe has the hops at 3.7 AA%. When I input the 8.7 AA% in Beersmith, my IBUs are about twice what they should be.
Recipe calls for 1 oz -60 minutes. Can I simply use half (.5 oz - 60 minutes) the amount of bittering hops to get my IBUs closer to what they should be.
If so, any impact on the beer flavor / bitterness?
