Hey Guys
I just made an American Hefe using Argentine Cascades (In lieu of Tettnang because my LHBS didn't have any). Apparently the A.Cascades are a good substitute for Tettneg as per the writing directly on the package.
Anyway, after transferring to secondary I tasted a sample and Woah, was it bitter. I only used a total of .75oz of it, and my IBU's should be around 18-20%, but it really has a bite to it, finishes clean but that initial taste really packs a punch.
Has anyone had any experience with the Argentine Cascade? Does the bitterness mellow out with conditioning? This is supposed to be a Raspberry Wheat for SWMBO and I know she won't like the bitterness. I don't have the recipe as I'm at work, if it'll help I'll post tonight.
Thanks!
