Bittering hops vs aroma hops

Just started my second batch ever using a kit to make a red which in this kit only calls for bitter hops and aroma hops both of which were sold in the same type of packaging when opening I noticed the hops were different and one had a stronger hops smell than the other I figured that was the bitter am I right wrong or does it make a difference?

It does make a difference. Smell doesnt necessarily determine which are better for bitterness vs. aroma. Which varieties did you get in the kit? There are a ton of resources to read and get info from. Just google it! This might be a good start... http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter5-1.html

I had willamette both packages looked the same so I kind of winged it

Check out the page I linked to. It will explain it.

I think I made good thanks for your help

The recipe is important...

A specific hop variety is not bittering or flavor/aroma. Some are more often used for one than the other, but any variety can be used for any purpose.

With regards to a recipe, however, the amount of hops and the Alpha Acid percentage AND the length of the boil determine how much bittering you get (IBUs). The amount of hops and length of boil (shorter is more) determines how much flavor and aroms you get. (Note that other things affect both qualities, but this is simplified).

It sounds as though you had Willamette for both bittering and flavor/aroma. This is fine. They were probably 1oz packages and if your recipe called for 1oz additions you'll be A-OK. If the recipe showed 1.5 oz and 0.5 oz additions, you'll be either too bitter or too sweet, resulting in an out of balance beer.

Your right both were 1oz packs so I should be ok thanks I just relaxed Didn't worry and had a home brew
