Boiling Hops Problem

[Morkin]

Here was my recipe for an American light Lager.

3 ½ lbs – John Bull American Lite Beer Kit
½ lbs extra light dry malt extract
¼ Oz Cascade hops for Aroma
American type- lager yeast

Since John Bull is no longer in business, I am going to use Briess Gold Unhopped Liquid Malt Extract, same amount of malt extract.

Since I did not use a hopped malt extract, I"m assuming I need some boiling hops.

I have 1 oz of Cascade Hops and 1 oz of Wallimater hops from a previos batch.

So here is my question, could I use 3/4 an oz of Cascade hops for boiling, then the last 1/4 for the aroma hops. Would this be enough? Any help would be great. Thanks.

tastybrew.com has a good calculator for this kind of thing.

with 3/4 for 60 and 1/4 for 10, the IBU (bittering units) are kind of high
for that style... although it will probably be tasty.

1/2 for 60 and 1/4 for 10 fits the bittering of american lagers.


But if it were me, I'd go by your first plan. Brew on.

Thanks for the reply. This beer is really for my father, who "says" he only likes light american lagers. I will go with 1/2 and then 1/4 for aroma. The next batch will be with more hops, as to my liking. Thanks for the help.
