Porter Extract hop question

[slothrop]

I bought NB's St. Paul Porter and it calls for 2 oz Cluster(60 min) and 1 oz of Cascade (1 min) hops. They gave me 3 oz of Cluster and no Cascade.

I have an extra 1/2 oz of Yakima Magnum in the freezer, would this be an appropriate substitute for the Cascade? Or should I use all Cluster?

You'd be better off using the cluster.( more similiar to cascade) I'd call them on it and see if they will send the cascade for free.

What about subbing the .5oz magnum for 1oz of the Cluster then putting 1oz of Cluster at 1 min then the last oz of Cluster at flameout?

Just an idea!

Thanks for the advice, since I don't know what Cluster hops taste like I'm not sure what 2oz at the end will do and I'm not sure if the Cascade flavor will be missed. That being said I'll probably go that route.
