Ahtanum/Amarillo APA

[sp1365]

Anyone use Ahtanum before or a combination of Ahtanum and Amarillo? I have an APA that I am doing tomorrow and I have an ounce of each. I was originally going to use Cascade, but my LHBS was out. Ahtanum was listed as a possible substitute and was fairly close in AA%. Suggestions on a hop schedule?

Here is my recipe:

you should be fine.
I use Ahtanum frequently and enjoy the combination with Amarillo.

It may become your favorite hop. You never know.

Those two play well together, you'll be fine.

Sounds good. I tend to a lot of English beer so I am pretty familiar with English hops, but not so much with the American varieties. I am looking forward to this one though.
