Substitute for Fuggles

[oswegan]

I used 4oz of Fuggles in a 5gal batch of Porter a while back that turned out well.

What else could I use in place of Fuggles that would be good in Porter?

Right now I have Centennial, Amarillo, Columbus, Magnum, Symcoe and Hallertau (GR).

Willamette works pretty well as a sub (and it is cheap right now).

I wouldn't sub anything you currently have for Fuggles. Maybe Hallertau it you HAVE to use something you have on hand but it won't be quite right.

I use Willamette as my Fuggles replacement... I've never used Fuggles and just swap Willamette when Fuggles is caused for. *shrug*

Yeah, Willamette...if you're using what you have on hand, I would use Magnum for bittering and Hallertau for flavor, but it won't come near as close to Fuggle as Willamette would.

I probably need to round out this selection. I have a pound of each of the above. Maybe I should get some Willamette and Goldings and . . . something else.

Thanks for the suggestion for Willamette. I never use it much and I live in Oregon.

Willamette FTW.

Second the Magnum/Hallertau combo in this specific instance.

I grabbed a pound of Willamette - might as well since its from around here and $6.95 a pound.

And it's pronounced "Willamette" dammit.

Styrians is a good sub.

Styrians is a good sub.

Much more subtle and soft...not as earthy, but otherwise a great hop. One of my favorites.

It will make a damn fine beer, that's for sure.
