As anyone got a recipe for a beer with EKG, i bought 100g
with a beer in mind but i`m blowed if i can find the recipe i was gonna do.
Can i just make a single hop brew with it or is it best to use with something else.
I have a lot of Hops but dont want to use most of them in anything other than what they were bought for.
So the only spare hops i really have are Northdown,Target,Hallertau,Goldings, and Boddicea that i could use
with the EKG.
Any suggestions would be great.

That will do then cheers, i dont have Challenger but Bodicea is almost the same asBorodave wrote:I've used it with Challenger before and it was delicious
so i could use it with that.

30g East Kent Goldings (4%) 15mins
15g East Kent Goldings (4%) Steep.

Brilliant as i have just about 60g of Boddicea so that will work out good.Borodave wrote:57g Challenger (7%) 60 mins

Re: Recipe with EKG
Northdown are a good substitute for challenger. I also like to use EK and Challenger but have used Northdown as well, the result has been just as good.
