About to make a pumpkin using some of a recipe I found on here. The original calls for bittering hops 2oz willamette, 1/2oz of cascade. The aroma hops are Mt. Hood - 1oz.
I want to substitute the two bittering hops for Magnum and the Aroma for Sterling (closer to ST pumking).
For aroma, I figure straight up substitution is cool - 1oz of sterling in place of 1oz of mt hood.
For bitteing:
Willamette AA is 4-6% @ 2oz
Cascade AA is 4-7% @ 1/2oz
I figured I'd take averages of 5 and 6 respectively, and running these through a calculator @ 60min and 19% utilization, I get 38 Bittering Units.
So I should figure out how much Magnum will give me 38 Bittering Units right?
Magnum AA is 12-17%. Figuring on 15% average, it would take just under an ounce - .9oz to get 39 Bittering Units.
Am I way off here? Never done this before - usually I follow recipes, not altering them much.
