Bittering with Amarillo - is it a waste?

[Donske]

if you want to save your amarillo, go ahead. Use something like magnum, perle or warrior for the bittering side of things (low cohumulone so smooth bitterness, highish AA and not much flavour contribution) or even something like Simcoe or Mosaic

I would just bitter with the amarillo though

I really like Simcoe as a bittering hop, seems very smooth to my tastes.

I did the whole brew with Amarillo. It was a balls-up because I realised my hop scales were rooted just as I hit the boil and I had to eyeball the additions. Currently in the fermenter with a massive krausen - took a hydro sample this morning, delicious but I may have under-done the bittering addition ( hard to tell as it's still around 1.022SG).

Dry hop with more Amarillo then.
In for a penny, in for a pound... Of amarillo
