Rogue Chocolate stout hops

[eagle83]

I used a recipe on here that was supposed to be from Zymurgy. It called for 3 oz of hops 1 oz @ 90 30 and knockout. On other sites for this same recipe it calls for 4 oz 1 oz @ 90 60 30 and knockout. I'm guessing it was probably a typo where someone forgot a hop addition. I ordered only 3 oz. Should it be fine? I have an ounce of simcoe laying around, but no spare cascade. +no local stores to go to.

Post the recipe? Also, post the AA% of the hops that you have.

It's possible that the AA% of the hops were different.

So if you ordered 3 oz of hops, it looks like you should be good to go? AA is the same and everything.

yeah the problem is every other recipe that is supposed to be from the same magazine says 4 oz, so I think whoever posted the recipe I was looking at forgot a hop addition. So it looks like I ordered an oz too little.
What if I used .5 an oz of Simcoe in substitution? or should I just leave it?

This is what the real recipe looks like

Exactly the same with an extra hop addition.

Okay after thinking about it. I think I am going to use a half ounce of Simcoe at knockout. I can use my cascade for the 90 60 and 30 min boil so the IBU will be right. The aroma will be slightly different, but I think of Simcoe as a juiced up cascade with a little pine.

Anyone want to talk me down from this?

I would talk you down, but it sounds good.
