So there are certain hops for styles and each variety of hop has it own taste/aroma. However for the bittering hop... put in at say at least 50mins to boil, most always 60, you get no flavor or aroma at all from this hop correct?
So in my mind it stands to reason that it makes no difference what bittering hop you use for any beer. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but with hops being slightly pricey it seems to make sense to use a high AA hop in small quantities to bitter with and then add your aroma and/or flavor hops to the end for what you really want out of picking a particular variety of hops for your beer.
Am I off here? Reason I ask is because I have a bunch of Nugget, and Warrior hops, all being pretty high AA, I can make these last a log longer by going with 1/2 oz or less increments for 60mins on my not so hoppy(read bitter) beers. Or even on a citrusy ipa, whats wrong with an ounce or two of nugget/warrior and then some Amarillo and simcoe for flavor/aroma/dryhop? Would there be a noticeable difference between that beer and one that has say simcoe for its bittering hop?
