Which Dual Purpose Hops

[sweatysock]

All,

I have some left over grains but no hops currently.

I am looking to try a single hop brew and have looked at using Pilgrim Hops as it is supposed to be good at bittering but also with a good aroma.

I will get a single 100g packet so was looking at using it all in the brew. I have come up with this recipe.

Grateful for your thoughts on this.

I am not sure if the bitterness is too high. I may be able to dry hop as well. I am after a nice light beer with real hop aroma. The zero minute hops will be put in after the wort has cooled to 80 degrees C.

Anyway, grateful for your thoughts on this.

Just suppin a pilgrim I did 4 weeks ago. Bitterness level is fine as mine was about the same. But I did chuck in a 100g at 0 mins, to balance it out, to be honest it's bloody lovely. One of my favourite hops!
