For late, whirlpool and dry-hop additions dose 1:1 by weight and go by aroma instead, because alpha acids do not drive those.
Use 0.56× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 5% → 9% · 50% aroma match
Use 0.74× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 5% → 6.75% · 50% aroma match
Use 0.53× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 5% → 9.5% · 50% aroma match
Use 0.89× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 5% → 5.6% · 25% aroma match
Look for similar alpha acid content (within 2%) and overlapping aroma notes. The more shared notes, the safer the swap.
