Beersmith 2.0 hop alpha variable

[Jon73]

I designed a couple recipes on BS using the stock alpha percentages. Now that I'm getting more familiar with the program I'm trying to personalize it a bit more and I'm wondering if there is a way to set the desired IBU's so that when you adjust the alpha the program will adjust the weight to compensate.

IE, the stock setting for cascade is 5.5, but my lhbs has them at 6.9. I'd like to be able to adjust it while keeping the recipe the same.

If you go to your recipe, adjust the alpha for your hops then you can click on the IBU slider. There it will let you adjust the IBUs back to what you want. Once you make the adjustment and click OK, it will adjust the weights in the recipe.

That was stupidly easy. Thanks.
