Target with Northern Brewer

Post by Rusticus » Sat Nov 26, 2016 7:28 pm

I have some Target and Nothern Brewer which I need to use up, if I use Target for bittering and Northern Brewer for flavour/aroma will I end up with something drinkable?

Certainly would. However I would go for a good best bitter, nothing too pale. FWH the Target as it can be a little harsh.

Thanks for the info.

Well, this is not going to happen. When I opened the packet of Target to use as first wort hops I realised why they were cheap. Well past using, wife walked in to room and said "baby sick". :roll:

Hasty visit to the freezer to find something else. Ended up with Challenger and Styrian Goldings. All is not lost.
