FAQ
Questions Hops Bitterness Calculator owners ask.
- 01
How do I calculate the total bitterness of my recipe?
You can use the calculate_total_recipe_bitterness capability. Provide an array of your hop additions and the final wort gravity to get the total IBU and the BU:GU ratio.
- 02
Does dry hopping contribute to IBU?
No, dry hopping additions contribute zero IBU as they are added after fermentation and do not undergo the isomerization process.
- 03
Which utilization models are supported?
The server supports the Tinseth, Rager, and Daniels utilization models to accommodate different brewing styles and wort gravities.
