USADual purpose8230Bitterness scales with alpha acid times weight, so for bittering additions rescale the weight by the alpha ratio — the multiplier for each substitute is given below. 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 1.67× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 15% → 9% · 60% aroma match
Use 1.2× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 15% → 12.5% · 20% aroma match
Use 2.4× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 15% → 6.25% · 20% aroma match
Use 1.03× the weight for the same bitterness
alpha acids 15% → 14.5% · 30% aroma match
Look for similar alpha acid content (within 2%) and overlapping aroma notes. The more shared notes, the safer the swap.
