I have a Pils recipe that I love, and I've always used 5% Saaz hops. I now have 3% Saaz hops, and I'm wondering how I should adjust the recipe to get a similar flavor.
Previous Recipe:
9# Pils Malt -> 1.050 OG
0.3 oz 13% Magnum @ 90 min - 16 IBU
1.0 oz 5% Saaz @ FWH - 15 IBU
1.0 oz 5% Saaz @ 20 min - 11 IBU
Should I increase the amount of the FWH and 20m hops to keep the same IBUs?
Or should I keep the same weight, and increase the IBUs through the 90m hops?
Since I brew this as a 10g batch, I'm tempted to do 5 gallon each way.
