I am planning on brewing this on Saturday as my second all grain. Question for everyone, I have an excess of magnum pellets and was thinking of using it as a fwh bittering hop. What does everyone think? Thus saving my cascade for flavor and aroma.
Should work well... I've used magnum for bittering in this recipe before to good effect.
EDIT TO ADD
looks like I used Warrior, not magnum...
From my notes, my planned hop schedule was:
Name Alpha Amount Use Time IBU
Warrior 16.0% 0.500 oz FWH 60.000 m 23.2
Warrior 16.0% 0.250 oz Boil 60.000 m 10.6
Warrior 16.0% 0.250 oz Boil 30.000 m 8.1
Cascade 4.0% 0.500 oz Boil 10.000 m 1.9
Cascade 4.0% 1.000 oz Boil 0.000 s 0.0
Cascade 4.0% 1.000 oz Dry 4.000 d 0.0
I meant to then adjust that for no-chill using The_Pol's chart. I forgot to do it for the 1/4 oz at 60m but did adjust for the other additions.
It's been awhile so I can't recall how it compared to the original recipe but I wouldn't hesitate to use warrior again.
I've also done a version with Columbus/Tomahawk/Zeus for bittering.
