Substitute For Magnum

[Insight]

I'm planning on brewing my NSW case swap beer on Sunday, and the recipe I'm working off has a 29IBU 60 min addition of Magnum. I have no Magnum in stock, so I've been searching the internet for substitutes and the information has been less than conclusive. I am leaning toward a load of Williamette at the moment because of the low cohumulone and the lineage. Anyone have another suggestion?

This is what I have in the freezer:
Amarillo
Bramling Cross
Cascade
East Kent Goldings
Hallertauer Mittelfreuh
Nelson Sauvin
Northern Brewer
Perle
Saaz
Simcoe
Styrian Goldings
Warrior
Williamette

I'd try Northern brewer, what are you brewing ?

 

[Insight]

Terrapin Rye Pale Ale clone

mmm....

My chart says Northern Brewer...

But depenidng on the the recipe - Warrior and simcoe are listed for Ales & Stouts.

 

[PostModern]

Warrior is a great clean bitterring hop of 15%AA or so. I find a gram or two over or under makes a huge difference, so if you go that way, make sure your scales are accurate.

I would use 75% NB and 25% Perle @ 60 min

The best beers happen when you sub hops!

Screwy

The recipe looks the goods Insight, nice to see a US made pale ale with english hops for flavour too !

I would go Warrior or NB.

+1 for the warrior, I just bought nearly 2kg from craftbrewer for bittering to weather the (possible) shortage. I'm a big fan of magnum for bittering and am lamenting the fact that my stock has just about dried up.

cheers

Magnum is a stellar bittering hop, clean and neutral. Unfortunately it's a little hard to get at the moment; hop shortage anyone?

For higher alpha subs I would go Norther Brewer or Warrior. Otherwise Perle Willamette Hallertau would all be just dandy.

Warrior would be the best sub but how about using simcoe for a bit more hop character :huh:
