Hi,
I've been using target hops as my bittering addition for English style ales, with good results so far. Unfortunately, they are not easily available locally in the Halifax area. Can anyone recommend a decent substitute that is easily obtainable locally? I'm aware that I would have to adjust the amount used based on AA%.
Cheers!

Re: Target hops substitution
Are you just using them for bittering at the start of the boil? If so not much taste will survive. You could probably sub in most high alpha varieties and not notice a difference.

Re: Target hops substitution
Agreed. I used to use Warrior for most of my bittering additions. It was cheap, and high AA.Celiacbrew wrote: ↑Thu Nov 02, 2017 10:11 pmAre you just using them for bittering at the start of the boil?

Re: Target hops substitution
Thanks for the input! I will probably try to use one of the suggested substitutions rather than go for high alpha hops, even if the difference is only in my head. Now to adjust a few recipes...
