I am doing an ESB and usually have Fuggles along with Goldings and Northern brewer in the recipe

I have run out of the Fuggles

would Styrian Goldings or Williamette be a suitable alternative ???

Willamette defiantly go the Willamette.

It's softer so maybe use a bit more for taste additions.

Thanks MHB sorry I did not get to see you but planning a trip to see Tony so sure will meet up

Tops be great to catch up.

Reminds me of the first time I met Chuck Hahn

I asked him what's that hop in this new beer you have out (Ok it was MS AA, and this is a long time ago) its like Fuggle but softer and more mellow

The reply

It's (Will-Am -Met) - I like - (Will-Am -Met), in the way only an American can say Willamette.

Words to drink by, its a dam fine hop, all the virtues of Fuggle with out the #2 ******* cut file edges, that make Fuggle such a wonder in IPA's and big Old's.

I dont want to disspoint but I am not Chuck Hahn :(

But I come close :)

You are a well respected brewer MHB ;)

I look forward and will meet you soon

I have not used W. but S.G. is a good substitute.
 
I'd have put SG ahead of the willamette as well, but each to their own.

I've just finished my ESB :( single hopped with EKG. I will do another but using some Williamette I've had in the freezer for a while. How did you recipe turn out in the end? Do you use NB as a bittering hop with Goldings with your regular ESB?

Cheers

KOS I am sure it will be nice with EKG

I just made a recipe everyone liked and wen to make again but had no fuggles

I think it went something like this for a 40 litre recipe 31 IBU 5.7%Alch

30 g Fuggles 90 mins
30 g Northern brewer 60 min
15 g fuggles 30 min
15g EKG 30 min
8g fuggle 10 min
8g EKG 10 min
15gm EKGolding Flame out


So I changed the Fuggles to Styrian Goldings

and used 30 gms Williamette at flame out and leftem into the NCCubes

I will post the original recipe when I get home .


I will ferment it with Nottingham yeast when the fermenting fridge is vacant in a day or two and should be ready in the keg in a week

Pumpy :)
