Hi,
I have been bittering with AU Galaxy and US Cascade for the past few beers and been finding the bitterness too harsh. I'm going to invest in 100 grams of a high alpha hop to use only for bittering. At the moment I'm torn between Warrior or Magnum. Does anyone have any experience on which would give the smoothest bitterness?
Also considering Horizon or Chinook as I have heard they have better aroma so are more dual purpose (although Chinook wont be as clean).
Its got to the point where I am lowering IBU's on my beers to reduce the astringent bitterness but then ending up with an unbalanced malty sweetish beer (also having problems with attenuation but thats another story).
Thanks.
