Went to my LHBS yesterday to buy supplies for today’s brew. The hop shortage finally caught up to me. My recipe for a Weizenbock calls for Tettnang hops. They were out and recommended trying Saphir. I haven’t been able to find too much information on these hops and was hoping for some help. How will they compare to the Tettnang? I have some Saaz, Fuggles, Perle and Hallertauer on hand. Would another substitute be better or is it worth experimenting with the Saphir? I was thinking of bittering with Perle and using the Saphir for flavor / amora. I did read that the Saphir adds a citrus flavor and I’m not sure how good that would be in a wheat.
