I'm planning on making Jamil's West Coast Blaster recipe and have a quick question regarding its hop schedule using the same hop varieties, but they have different % alpha acid from what the recipe calls for:
The recipe calls for 66IBUs using:
1.1 oz horizon (13%)-60min
1 oz Cascade 6% -10min
1 oz Centennial 9% -10min
1 oz Cascade 6%-0min
1oz Centennial 9% -0min
I can get horizons (plugs) at 11.9%, Cascades at 5.4%, Centennials at 8%
I can get to 66 IBUs if I increase the Horizons to 2oz but leaving all other additions the same.
My question is: will this throw off the hop profile?
Thanks!
