Aurora subsitute?

Wez · Feb 1, 2009

I want to brew this Deuchars IPA recipe as posted by MartialAnt but I don't have Aurora, is there a subsitute that I could use or should I try to get some Aurora. I'll be brewing 60L of it so would prefer to use hops that I have in stock.

I've done a quick google and can't find much about Aurora?

I'm not sure anyhting really comes close to Aurora but I think Styrian Goldings would be similar, although the AA of the two is usually very different so you might need a shedload :shock:

Hmm, I can see me going for something like Cascade or Chinook :hmm:

A fellow brewer of mine did a Deuchers type beer recently. Wasn't meant to be a clone, just something in the ballpark and used Fuggles, Bobek and Willamette, along with Aurora, if thats of any help.

I can truely say the resultant beer was divine. : cheers:

NO NO NO!!! You have to use Aurora. Its got a total taste of its own. When youve used Auaora once, you'll be buying more to use.
Aurora @ Barley bum Â£3.29. Thats nearly half price compared to Leyland. I bought from Leyland 2 days ago. Gutted now. Im getting my hops from him from now on. Just decided now.
Dont brew yet.
Wait until you've bought some Aurora.

Im desperate for an Aurora rhizome. Cant find it on sale anywhere.

Thats a No then :lol:

Fair enough, I'll get some Aurora :thumb:

I mentioned brewing to SWO's this morning & she gave me a very stern look & swore at me. So im not brewing my D-IPA today. :cry:

Aurora are pretty taste specific. I did a styrian stunner using them and it turned out ....scrummy : cheers:

Wez · Feb 1, 2009

I'm sold :thumb:

Aurora are Styrians on PCP . . . and no you can't get close even using 3 times the qty of styrians as aurora

Vossy1 · Feb 1, 2009

Aurora are Styrians on PCP

Yep, my ASS :roll:

:lol: aurora styrian stunner, turned out quite similar to Brew Dog Punk IPA bitterness wise...sucks in cheeks :drink:

Wez · Feb 1, 2009

Just poured myself another Punk IPA - feckin lovely

an extreme beer :thumb:

Vossy1 · Feb 1, 2009

To me there's a proper grapefruit pith lovleyness (sp) to the Punk IPA.
I'd love to try a few of their other brews. Scotland seems to throwing up a few great micros as of late

Wez · Feb 1, 2009

yep, the guys from Brewdog got themselves a slot on James & Oz - did you catch that?

Vossy1 · Feb 4, 2009

Still not seen a single episode

Aleman · Feb 4, 2009

I caught the Burton one last night . . . the whole series is available on iPlayer apparently

Sadly the Burton one was the worst in the series so far...

Here's a link to Brewdog's blog item about the Drink to Britain segment
