I just received a Mirror Pond Pale Ale- Extract kit from Austin Homebrew. The recipe calls for 3 additions of hops (bittering, flavor,dry hopping).
My question is that in the recipe instructions it lists 1oz. of cascade hops for each of these. But the kit included two 1oz. packages of Cascade and one 1oz. package of Saaz. I don't know if this was a mistake in the instructions or the packaging. Is Saaz a reasonable substitute for Cascade? If I use the Saaz, should I use it for the bittering, flavoring, or dry hop?. Should I go to my LHBS and get a package of cascade and forget the Saaz?
Any advice appreciated.
