I'm getting ready to brew tomorrow and I went to get all my ingredients today from my LHBS.
I'm brewing a huge barleywine... talking 1.113 OG and I'm going to then take my second runnings and do an ESB.
Never done one so I just looked off Jamil's recipe and was going to do 1oz EKG 60, 1.5 oz EKG 30, and 0.5 EKG flameout.
I accidentally only picked up 2 oz of EKG instead of 3 and so I was thinking of keeping the later additions and just use some of either cascade, simcoe, or centenial as bittering since I have those here at the house and wouldn't have to make the 20 min trek out to go get one oz of hops tomorrow.
For my barleywine I'll have an already opened 2 oz pack of Cascade so I though I would just use the second half of the cascade making it 1 oz cascade for bittering.
My thinking is that since it is bittering the hop shouldn't matter too much as long as I just get those AA's isomerized and then use my EKG for flavor and aroma.
Thoughts?
