I am brewing this over the weekend and only have cascade, centennial, chinook, hallertau and warrior on hand. Homebrew shop was out of magnum at the moment. Do any of these sound like an acceptable sub?

Warrior and Chinook would be too harshly bitter, IMO. Hallertau would be my first choice, then Cascade or Centennial.

I brewed this over the weekend, using Willamette, and substituting chocolate for the pale chocolate (and reducing the amount a bit). I'm really looking forward to tasting this!

This is delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe, Flyangler. I need to track down an authentic commercial mild, somehow, for sake of comparison.

Sweeeeeeeeeet.

The only mild I've been able to find in the US without too much trouble is Moorhouse Black Cat. Of course, bottled export versions will be a higher ABV than their UK cask equivalents.

Can't wait to brew this Saturday! Because I am repitching Windsor and have some bulk Hallertau, this batch only cost me $12! Is it too early to predict this will be the best 25 cent beer that I've ever had?

Sadly, I have to bottle it but I was thinking of using around 2 oz of sugar. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I've never used anything else to prime before but do have some dme on hand if that might be better.

Rogue-
I wouldn't hesitate to prime with sugar. I'm not sure on the amount, but you can use an online carbonation calculator for that. Enjoy this great mild -- I did.

Rogue,

Definitely use an online carbonation calculator, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 volumes will approximate cask levels of carbonation.

Thanks! if I only end up with 5 gallons, it looks like I should use 1.8 oz of sugar.
