Hi Guys!
I'm new to this wonderful hobby (5 batches so far) and still have many questions but the one that stands out right now is about bittering hops.
Do bittering hops only give bitterness to the beer, or do they give some flavor or aroma?
For example, this weekend I'm brewing an American Red Ale that calls for the addition of 1 oz of Cascade for bittering (60 min), 1 oz of Cascade for flavor (10 min) and another ounce of cascade for aroma (5 min). What would happen if I replace the bittering hop with another type of hop with the same AA and leave the flavor and aroma hops as Cascade?
Regards!
