 | Formula for Bitterness - The formula to use when calculating
international bitterness units for recipes. See the bitterness
technical page for a description of the three bitterness formulas.
We recommend using Tinseth for most applications. |
| First Wort Hop Adjustment - The percent increase or decrease in hop
utilization when using hops as a first wort hop while lautering and
boiling. The recommended value is 10% (an increase). |
| Mash Hop Adjustment - The bitterness adjustment used when steeping
hops in the mash tun during the mash (instead of boiling).
Generally this results in great aroma but little bitterness. The recommended
adjustment is -80% versus boiling. |
| Leaf Hop Adjustment - BeerSmith uses pellet hops as the
default. This value represents the increase or loss in utilization
when using leaf hops. The recommended value is -10% (loss versus
pellet hops). |
| Plug Hop Adjustment - The increase or loss in utilization when
using plug form hops. The recommended value is -8%. |
| Apply hop type adjustments to hops used in recipes - When checked,
the hop adjustments for plug and leaf hops are applied to recipes using
those types. |
