Yes, Noob here... If i want my IPA to be 40 - 45 IBU how do i calculate this with my hop addition schedule ? actually, how do i do it period ? lol
Probably more information than you want. Estimating bitterness is what you want to read. http://realbeer.com/hops/FAQ.html#units Or here. http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter5-5.html
I use www.beercalculus.hopville.com and ibrewmaster on my iphone. Make sure to change the AA% to match the hops you have on hand. The system will have a general AA% for each hop but it may be different from the hops you actually have. It should be listed on the outside of each pack of hops. Edit: jmw beat me to it
