Leaf hop to pellet hop conversion

[Crock_it_out]

I'm trying to convert leaf hop measurement to a pellet measure for a porter. The original hop bill is:
0.5 oz. Cascade (leaf, 7.2AA) at 60 min.
0.75 oz. Galena (leaf, 14.2AA) at 60 min.
0.75 oz Tettnang (pellet, 5.1AA) at 15 min.

What is the conversion to get the Cascade and Galena to pellet amounts...

Any help is appreciated.

1oz of leaf is equal to 1oz of pellet. No conversion needed. The only time you need to make an adjustment is when there's a difference in AA units.

Yup,about the only thing that changes is the size of the hop sack. I save those muslin grain bags from the kits for use with whole leaf hops due to the increased volume per the same weight.

And how do I do this...just incase my LHBS doesn't carry the same AA hops.

You use more or less depending on whether the AA% is lower or higher. There's a formula around here somewhere...

for varying AA it's just a ratio, ie. 1oz of 10AA is equal to 2oz of 5AA

also, i'm fairly certain theres a 10% utilization difference generally used when going from leaf to pellet (pellet being higher utilization)
