No Fuggles - what's similar?

Post by BarryNL » Thu Mar 15, 2007 10:49 pm

Finally my mail order ingredients arrive and they forgot to put the Fuggles hops in :roll: . I can visit a local brew shop to see what they have in but it's usually a pretty minimal selection (they mainly just sell beers). What other hops might be a good substitute? All I have in stock is Kent Goldings - are these similar enough? The recipe I want to make calls for Fuggles at both the start of the boil (bittering) and at T -15 mins (flavouring).

Styrian Goldings are a Fuggle grown in Slovenia. You could try them if they're in stock, they have a slightly different (nicer) aroma. If all else fails, EKGs are often used interchangably with Fuggles.

Hops directly related to Fuggles are the American hop Williamette and the European hop Styrian Goldings but Kent Goldings would be fine to substitute. Both Fuggles and Kent Goldings are tradtional British ale hops. I like the Goldings better myself. :wink:
