What do you bitter with?
What do you bitter with?
Morning All,
Just a general poll really, purely out of interest.
What do you guy typically bitter with? I've been using the same high AA @ First Wort for a while now, US Warrior in particular, and quite like its qualities as a FW Hop.
So, to the forum, what do you do?

Re: What do you bitter with?
+1, though I like Cluster, Challenger, Crystal, and Centennial a lot too. When I have a ton of homegrown Cascades, I'll use them for bittering too.alix101 wrote:I'm using northern brewer for all my bittering...tried and trested
P.S. here's another great thread to cross-reference viewtopic.php?f=11&t=54269#p570730

Re: What do you bitter with?
Thats not a bad philosophy,I'm starting to belive ,bittering is bittering no matter what hop you use...obviously in the right quantities it was after reading, an article by the sharps head brewer. I just thought I would choose a hop that was proven and stuck with it .Jim wrote:Whatever happens to be in the freezer and past its best before date.

I was using Apollo. At 19.5 it didn't need much. Very economical.
Now I use whatever is there.

Re: What do you bitter with?
Challenger, Progress, Fuggles, Northern Brewer, Goldings sometimes, Target occasionally (cheap, but not that nice IMO).
