Substitute for Tettnanger

[gonzoflick]

I am looking for a substitute for Tettnanger hops used as flavor and aroma in Ed Worts Kolsch recipe. I have many other varieties at my house but not this one.

Hallertau would be best, if you've got it. I tend to think of those two as almost interchangable.

I just listened to the "Hop Shortage" show on BBR.com, and Chris Colby said Santiam is a good sub(I planted two rhizomes of this last year, but didn't get any hops off it b/c I planted super late, hopefully next year I'll get a bunch). He also said a hop called Vanguard(sp?) is a good sub for Hallertau. He also said both of these should be available.

Liberty or Fuggle would also work quite well as a sub for Tettnanger.

Would you substitue 1oz for 1oz Fuggles for Tettanger? I'm looking for a sub for Tettanger too and I have lots of Fuggles...

Yeah being a relative novice and not knowing what the difference is between most of the hops, some sort of thread or Wiki post that lists the closest alternatives for hop carieties would be very helpful, especially as the shortage limits our options.

Many of the individual hops pages have suggested substitutes, there are definitely some holes though.

There are substitutes suggested in the wiki already, you just have to look at the individual hop page. Example: American Tettnanger

I'd use Spalt if I couldn't get Hallertau.

 

[DeathBrewer]

or you could just google "hops comparison chart" or "hops replacement chart"

there are a ton of websites out there with these charts

Hallertau, Spalt, preferably, as noble alternatives.

Failing that, NA derivatives like Mt Hood, Crystal, Liberty, Santiam.

I haven't done this sub personally...that said

Fuggles are something like 3.5 to 5.5 AAU and and Tettnang are 3 to 5 AAU so that would most likely be ok in terms of AAU. However, Tettnanger is a bit more spicy than Fuggles in terms of flavor profile (Fuggles are a bit more mild from what I've read but I'm sure that this is going to vary from source to source).

Just my two cents but I'd guess you could get away with it, depending on the style. You may get more variance with some rather than others. Using Tettnang in an ESB might not turn out as good as using the Fuggles in a more traditional German lager that just lacked a bit of the spicy bite that the Tettnang would offer.

 

[DeathBrewer]

tettnanger are definitely more spicy than fuggle or hallertau. it's a preferred hop in my weizens

 

[westerntrout]

Spalt was my first thought.

BTW, BYO has a hop comparison/substitution chart on their site.
