Substitute for Brewers Gold

[winkle]

Looks like Brewers Gold is hard to source ATM, any thoughts on a reasonable substitue - Challanger perhaps?

I've used Chinook and Nugget in place of brewers gold before.

Yeah I'd been eyeballing my Northdown, I'd better check how elderly it is <_< .

Northdown is very elderly, it was bred when you and I still had dark hair, to overcome disease problems with Northern Brewer in the UK and is the signature of Tetley's ales in the UK, and a must have in Fullers brews.

How elderly do you want? I've started using it again for ESBs. B)

At what point in the boil are you using it?

Challenger is a beautiful hop anywhere (bitter, flavour, aroma, dry) - lovely marmalade things going on.

The Brew Shop in peakhurst has it

Check this new resource from Hop Union. You can probably figure out a substitution for many hops now.
