Simcoe substitutes?
« on: December 31, 2011, 03:50:07 PM »
Simcoe hops are basically "out of stock" everywhere.  I was planning on using some in a couple of upcoming recipes.  I'd be interested in hearing suggestions for alternative hops that would come close to replicating Simcoe?  Thx in advance...

I'd try Citra. same Alpha, where Simcoe has a Pine aroma,  Citra is more Lemon..

You could try Falconers flight.  I ready it is a blend of Simcoe and Citra.

You can also go with Citra as a replacement but I would cut the amount by 30%. 

I also read of using Bravo.

For bittering, I would use Magnum.

Great suggestions, guys, thanks very much.  Since I'm mostly intrested in the piney aspect of Simcoe, I think I might try the Falconer's Flight suggestion.  Or, possibly Chinook.

Thanks again -- cheers!

I love Simcoe ..... It has been showing up recently at the homebrew stores. At least I know, according to their latest newsletter, William's Brewing in San Leandro has it.
