what's the difference between hersbrucker and hallertau hops? I picked up the wrong hop...cream ale recipe calls for the hersbrucker
 
Both are in the aroma hop category.

Hersbrucker is lower in Alpha Acids (1.5-4%) so, you may need to add less Hallertau (3-5.5%). Hallertau is a bit higher in oil (.7-1.3) versus (.5-1). Both are described as having a fine noble aroma. I'm sure you are fine.
