I'm trying to imput this recipe into my software but I'm having a hard time deciphering the author's hops amounts. I'm not a noob, I know how to read recipes...know how to work them out in beercalculus. But I can't figure out what he is meaning by the info in parenthesis under each hops...
Am I just having a senior moment?
The thing that bugs me is this is a BYO online recipe...and they're not usually this confusing... Here's the recipe.
Is the author not giving the amount of the hops at their regular AAU but in parenthesis giving the amount for a stronger AA% replacement?
Plus it appears his percentages are off on the AA's of the Hops, I'm looking at my stash of pellet packs and my Cascade packets read 6.3% (as opposed to 6.2).
And my Fuggles are 4.0% not 4.7....
I've had 2 cups of coffee...so I think I'm awake...what am I missing here?
