Whole leaf vs. Pellet Hops?

[Chief462]

Making a gumball head clone and it calls for amarillo hops. They are hard to get in pellet form right now so I bought whole leaf hops. Is the equivalent the same if the recipe calls for 1oz of hops can I use WL same size as pellet. or do I have to adjust as the pellets are concentrated.

You need 10% more whole. Pellets have less stems and are utilized better.

You are talking hops right?

From what I can see playing around with BeerSmith 10% seems about right.

Yes...you have to make sure you have entered into your calculator right. I don't worry much about it but I do try to get the IBU close.
