I will be doing a Blonde this weekend (just don't tell me wife).
It calls for . 5 oz Centennial (.25 at 55 min, .25 at 35 min) and .5 oz Cascade (.25 oz at 20 min, .25 oz at 5 min). I have the .5 oz Cascade left over from another brew. I don't have the Centennial on hand though. I know Centennial and Cascade are similar, so I could just get another .5 of the Cascade and be fine, or just get the Centennial.
But, I have .5 oz Willamette and .5 oz Perle left over as well. I understand that they are not comparable to Cascade or Centennial. How would the end product be altered by using one of these non-comparable hop varieties instead? Say I used the Cascade at 55 and 35, then Willamette at 20 and 5 (or Willamette at 55 and 35, then Cascade at 20 and 5). How much would the taste be off from the original recipe?
