Hi All,

I was going to brew a SNPA clone tomorrow but I have just seen that I have 1oz less Cascade than I thought.
I was going to do
1/2oz Magnum @ 60min
1/2oz Northern Brewer @30min
1oz Cascade @10min
2oz Cascade @Flame out

I have some Falconer's flight and was thinking of adding that at 10min to replace the missing Cascade.

Would this work or would the Falconer's flight overpower the cascade?

Or better 1oz cascade at 10min and 1oz each of Cascade and FF at flame out?

Now that I'm at it, has anyone ever done a SNPA type beer with a combination of Cascade and another hop at the 10min and/or flame out that worked out well?

Mosaic? Summit?
Citra is probably too strong?
 
If you have the Falcon laying around, go ahead and sub. Im sure it will not be exactly the same as Cascade, but it will be close enough.
 
Well, once you know you're not making an SNPA clone... Then it doesn't really matter. It has a higher AA bittering potential but later in the boil will have less of a bittering effect. It's totally up to you. I might split the cascade I have and then add the falconers as a dryhop or even just put the falconers in at flameout. There's not really a wrong answer
 
It might be a little closer to the taste of a SN Celebration (which uses a mix of Chinook, cascade and centennial). I'd say it should taste quite nice, just watch the overall IBU's.
 
Great, thanks for the replies.;)
I'm actually in the first six months after buying an new (old) house so I don't have time for a proper brew day at the moment.
So I'm sort of doing a quick and dirty brew.
I milled the grains, weighed out the hops and dusted down and cleaned my brewing equipment today. Tomorrow I'm going to do my first BIAB and then let it cool overnight (less hands on time and less things to clean up). Then the next day pitch the US-05.

Anyway I think I'll go for 1oz FF at 10 min and 2oz Cascade at flameout.
I'm going to skip the dry hopping so I can use the slurry for an IPA in about a month.

Thanks again. :tank:
 
Drinking this right now - very tasty.
I never has a SNPA so I can't compare.
It was my first time doing BIAB so I missed my target by quite a bit - 1.050 instead of 1.056. To increase the alc. I added sugar syrup with about 12oz of beet sugar after the main fermentation had finished. So it's still only about 5.25% instead of 6%.

I've already done my second BIAB and hit my target so it a quick learning process.

:mug:
 
They only use whole cone hops, they always make a point of pointing that out to their customers. Congrats on a tasty beer
