Hops Substitutions?

[thom]

Going to make a batch of extract this weekend following a recipe I've used before. However, my recipe calls for East Kent Goldings and Fuggles, both of which my LHBS were out of when I picked up ingredients today. I chose to substitute First goldings for the East Kent Goldings and Williamette for the Fuggles. Am I going to regret this?

sounds like an excellent choice.

You can always substitute a jump for a hop.

I however, substitute OHBS for LHBS all the time. Your choices will still make beer.

I'm not even sure what this means, but thanks.

Good times.

Means if the LHBS doesn't have it I shop online. Substitutions still make beer, just not the beer in the recipe.

Gotcha. Thanks. I guess my question was whether or not these are ok substitutions.

Yeah. I know that. I just think it's too subjective a topic for a yes/no answer.

Thanks for responding then! We'll see what happens!

Pretty much sums up the answer to your question right there
