Hop question...

[pig140]

My LHBS didn't have crystal hops so I ordered some. My recipe has 1 oz pellet hops added at flameout. I got my hops in and I learned I accidentally ordered whole hops. Since this is being added at flameout, is it the same or do I need to adjust?

Would I be better off ordering some crystal pellet? I'm using Brewer's Friend for my formulas. When you choose "aroma" for flameout additions, nothing changes.

At flameout I wouldn't worry about the difference

Pellets and whole cones are interchangeable.

Interchangeable by weight, right?

You would typically use more whole hops than pellet. 10% more or so I believe.

And honestly if you added them at flameout I wouldn't worry. I don't think 1 oz of pellet vs 1 oz of whole hops at flameout will be a revolutionary difference to the final beer. If there is dry hopping involved, you can up the dry hop more too, but that is always my answer to everything.
