I am thinking about doing an IPA for my second beer. The recipe I am looking at tells me that I need:
1 oz of Centennial whole hops (dry hops)
.5 oz of Chinook whole hops (dry hops)
I'm not sure if my local homebrew shop carries whole hops? Can I just substitute pellets of same amounts and types? I have been under the impression that pellets are different than whole hops in how much I should use.
So the question is this: Can I dry hop with Centennial and Chinook pellets in the same amount? If not, how do I convert the whole hop amount to pellet amount? It does not give me the AAU's for these two specific ingredients.
Thanks.
