As I'm wortking on some sort of database/expert system for hop substitutions has any one got a synopsis of the hops ( as I didn't get any !! )

I have the rough analyses from Farnhams but each bale is different!

I got 4 x 100g packs from HBC along with my starsan this morning. All my stir plate stuff arrived too. Its gona be a good weekend!

How does this look (imperial IPA):


50g Apollo             [17.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 59.2 IBUs
50g Bramling Cross [7.30 %] - Boil 40.0 min   22.3 IBUs
50g Bramling Cross [7.30 %] - Boil 20.0 min   15.4 IBUs
50g Bramling Cross [7.30 %] - Boil 10.0 min   9.2 IBUs
50g Bramling Cross [7.30 %] - Dry hop

Would subbing in some cascade be pointless?

QuoteThe Galaxy were 14.1%. Columbus were 14.5% but are 2011 harvest, as discussed.

Would it be fair to say that the Columbus should be ~10%AA at this stage?
