Hophead hop combo

Post by DaveyT » Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:46 pm

Hello
I may not have enough Cascade hops for a Hophead clone (depends how far I want to take it, I guess).
I'm currently thinking of using Challenger for the small bittering charge and wondering whether I could pad the Cascade out with this in the late hops.
I also have the following to choose from:
EKG
Fuggles
Aurora
Saaz
Any suggestions?

Thanks
DaveyT

Went with Cascade and Challenger in the end. Looking OK in the FV.
Here's hoping!
