I have a recipe that calls for:
1.5 oz Chinook at 60 min
1.5 oz Chinook at 20 min
1. Oz Chinook at 1 min
1. Oz Chinook dry hop
My LHBS only had 1 oz of Chinook pellets and 1 oz of Chinook whole leaf. I bought 3 oz of Cascade as a substitute.
My questions are:
Should I use cascade for the early additions and if so should I match the quantity or use less since Cascade has higher alphas?
Assuming I save the Chinook for the late addition and for dry hopping. Would it be better to use the whole leaf for the late addition of dry hopping? I'm a little worried about getting the hops out of the carboy, especially if I were to bag them.
All thoughts are welcome.
