Doing an Irish Red and the recipe calls for East Kent Goldings (5% AAU) as the only hop addition. It is a 60 minute addition.
I don't have EKG. What would be a good sub? I have Willamette and Cascade which have similar AAU ratings. I also have several other hops that have a much higher AAU rating. Since the addition is purely a bittering addition, does it matter if I use a hop with a higher AAU rating as long as I use less to match the total calculated IBUs?
Will be boiling in about two hours so your help is appreciated. Thanks.
