I am about to brew the "All Amarillo IPA" from a recipe in the Extract Brewing section here on HB Talk, but I have a question about hop AA%. Should I be adjusting my hop additions if the AA% of my hops is different from what is called for in the recipe? I assume that I should, but I just want to make sure. The recipe calls for Amarillo 8%AA and the Amarillo hops that I bought are 9.3%AA.
So, if I were to convert the following hop schedule...
1.5 oz Amarillo 8%AA for 60 Min
1 oz Amarillo 8%AA for for 15 Min
1 oz Amarillo 8%AA for for 5 Min
.5 oz Amarillo 8%AA for at flameout
It becomes...
1.3 oz Amarillo 9.3%AA for 60 Min
.85 oz Amarillo 9.3%AA for for 15 Min
.85oz Amarillo 9.3%AA for for 5 Min
.42 oz Amarillo 9.3%AA for at flameout
Will these small changes matter much or should I just go with the original recipe?
Thanks in advance for your help!
