I have an AHS Smoked Porter AG for Sunday brew day, but AHS forgot to ship the Glacier hops...they did send the Kent
Here's the recipe's hops schedule: Bittering: 1.5 oz Kent Golding (7.2%aa) 60 min
Flavor: 1 oz Glacier (6%aa) 15 min
Aroma: 0.5 oz Kent Golding 5 min
Should I, in place of the Glacier, use some leftover hops from my fridge, like 0.5 oz Mt Hood (5.2%aa) and 0.5 oz Fuggle (5.1%aa) for the 15 min addition?
Or would it be better to hit the LHBS for some Glacier and follow the recipe? I've never made a smoked porter before, and I don't really know all of the subtleties of the various hops.
Thanks
