MetalKdub 65 Posted March 25, 2017 I was just wondering what the differences between the Simcoe and Williamette hops were. Woud I be able to substitute one for the other or are they totally different? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, thanks, kedogn...it looks like they're not real similar. I was thinking of adding some Simcoe hops to the Howling Red Ale. How do you think that would turn out? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do you think that would turn out? I *LOVE* Simcoe hops, but I am not familiar with that one, but if it's a true Red, thus more malt than not, I wouldn't add Simcoe, personally. I would only use them in something lighter body (Pale/IPA), where they can shine through. With that said, don't let convention (or anyone's opinion, especially mine) stop ya from trying something. You just might find what you make is your favorite, or if not, you might find something you can easily tweak that will become your fav 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrWhy 1,292 Posted March 26, 2017 The Howling Red is built around Cascade. Are you planning on replacing the Cascade with Simcoe, or adding Simcoe to the Cascade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was kind of thinking of dry hopping the Simcoe in addition to the Cascade. Do you think there would be another hop that would accent it better? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love the guys at 21A, especially the San Leandro location. Side Note: 4 of the first 5 people to buy beers at the San Leandro location when it opened were wearing Manfish Brewing shirts, no lie. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
