Well thank you to screwtop, NickB and others.
After a few years of looking through the gurus recipes, Jamils recipes included, the BU : GU value has been mostly ignored.Its all been about OG , FG, grain bill, temps and yeast ect.
Why dont they specify the balance? Surely its just as important factor as anything else.
It seems alot is assumed if you use their grain bill and hop schedual you will end up as a USA national award winning brewer.
Even BJCP dont consider or publish BU:GU in their detail.
I think its an important componant to recipe formulation and overlooked as a valuable componant to any style.
Yes , I am a go by the numbers brewer. Screwy had me pegged as an engineer years ago, but for me thats how you know whats goin on, for better or worse. Artist I aint.
Give us a BU:GU on every beer I say.Valuable info surely.
