Hop combo

Post by Whorst » Sat Dec 06, 2008 6:41 pm

I'm planning a Best Bitter, hopped with Target and First Gold. Is this combo acceptable? I'm going to dry hop with a combo of First Gold and East Kent Goldings. Would it be better to use Target and EKG and dry hop with First Gold?

Sounds good to me either way. I think EKG and First Gold are related so they would work well together.
I'm just here for the beer.

Target is traditionally a bittering hop, it's not prized for the aroma like EKG and FG is. FG is kind of orange/marmaladey, EKGs are kind of floral, slightly musty/earthy when used for dry hops.
