Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a custom made extract kit from my local homebrew shop, to brew a recipe I found online. One of the instructions for ordering the kit confused me and I'm hoping someone could clarify.
It reads: "Please work out the hop weights required based on the alpha acids listed on our website; we will not adjust recipes for alphas."
I know the type of hops I need and the weights for the recipe, but I don't understand the alpha acids part. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate if you could explain it to me.
Thank you!
