Was planning to do an IPA this morning.
However my recipe calls for Eldorado, I've a large selection of hops but guess what, no Eldorado.
Suggestions please for alternative.
Thanks
 
Recipe uses Warrior, Chinook citra and mosaic plus missing Eldorado.
Have in varying amounts: fuggles, EKG simcoe, saaz, first gold, mandarina, perle, challenger, celeia, bobek, cascade and hersbrucker.
 
look at the site phildo 79 has put a link to excellent info. Me personal i would from what you have got put 50% extra Citra and 50% extra cascade but who knows?
Just realised you have Simcoe that is a sub that is listed on the site maybe use that 100%
 
However the 4 previous sources I looked at said there was no substitute for El Dorado. The majority would seem to suggest that it is rather unique.

It's a lovely hop though. I have a keg of single hop IPA ATM. It has a really velvet mouthfeel with an almost vanilla ice cream taste to it.
