Hops question

[aschupner]

I have this recipe that only lists the HBU and not the specific amount. Can anyone help me decipher the amount of hops I am actually supposed to use?


5 HBU Saaz Hop Pellets (bittering), 1.75 HBU Saaz Hop Pellets
(aroma)

It's only a 50 minute boil, bittering goes in right away and aroma for the last 5. Any help on this would be great.

1 oz @ 1% AA is 1 HBU

So 7 oz @ 1AA = 7HBU
or 1 oz @ 7AA = 7HBU

What is the AA of the Saaz you have?

take AA divided by HBU to get the oz needed. simple ALGEBRA!! (that you never thought you would use after high school!!)

Whoops, simple algebra vexed me!!. HBU divided by AA.
