I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I cannot mash that
I had a look to see if there was a topic about Cascade, and I couldn't find one in this subforum, which surprised me. So I thought I'll start one. So what are your thoughts on this hop? Best used as bittering, flavour, aroma, or all the way through a hop bill? What hops combine best with it? Some good recipes for it?
