Someone else mentioned Hop Utilisation earlier so I thought I would test it out and it does multiply the generated IBU value - almost.
When % = 100 you get the maximum IBU value
When % = 50 you get the half the IBU value
When % = 100 you get the maximum IBU value? Why not 0???
Yes I know using 0% would be pointless but the maths is wrong here.
Then there is the HSI value.
What you SHOULD do with this value is adjust it to suit the AGE and STORING conditions of your hops.
It is a level of degradation of your hops
- From the Inventory page:
You can see the value stored against the hop (BRU-1) is empty but this is assumed, by the editor, to mean 0 which should represent very good quality (i.e. 100% of the declared AA value)
Change the HSI value to 0.5 which should represent degraded i.e. Questionable quality, and re-edit the recipe again....
NO CHANGE IN IBU?????
What does HSI bring to the equation? Nothing much it seems. Is it used at all? If not why not?
