So my first AG is nearly ready to bottle and already tastes flippin awesome. For my second, I'll be using the same ingredients but in different quantities, as a comparison and to use up my first grain order.
Now I'm planning my AGs ready for summer drinking (three so far. getting ahead of myself?), one of which is a Bohemian Pilsner as seen on BYO.com. The hopping schedule, halfed for my 10L batch size ends up calling for about 100g of Saaz hops. Which does seem an awful lot. Is this right?
I've used the calculator on brewer's friend and everything matches up regarding AAUs and the total IBUs etc. I know that Saaz has a very low AAU content, but it still seems a lot of hops for a 10L brew.
As a newb, I'm a bit unsure. Should I just trust the calculator?
