Aurora (aka super Styrian)

Post by Fido97 » Fri Jun 05, 2015 1:05 pm

This is one for the hop experts/geeks! I have a recipe which calls for Styrian Goldings, but I have only been able to acquire Aurora. Its a different species although also from Slovenia with significantly higher aa (9% as compared to about 2-4% for standard Styrian). What do folks think about substituting? Obviously I would allow for higher aa and use less but would this change the flavour profile radically? Any thoughts appreciated.

It can be substitued (and ofter has) but is a completely different hop aroma wise.

Still very nice :D
