[DirtyCaner]

Hi Everyone,

Im gonna put an order in with the hop shop tomorrow and I want something to substitute for simcoe in Marks punk APA recipe.

Can anyone suggest anything out of what they have available?

Its a recent hop so may not have a substitute have a look here

At a guess I would have said one of the american "C"s , possibly the highest alpha out of the big three :hmm:

Cheers guys.

I think Im gonna try some Bravo instead. Although I'm hoping I may be able to scrounge an oz or so from a local brewer.

I also found this while reading around the subject, may be of some interest.

Simco is a proprietary hop which only a handful of growers are allowed to cultivate. Looking at the AA I would suggest chinook as a substitute, but you may notice that the high citrus notes are lacking.

I've been after simcoe for a little while now.
Got two different recipes for beers I love that I know use them.

From rumours I hear, I don;t think we'll be seeing any in 2012 either.... :evil:

That's strange I just ordered 4 pounds from hops direct.

Who are in America and don't export internationally! :evil:

Really? Man I didn't know that. That seems silly though they'd have a huge customer base if they sell internationally. www.morebeer.com brags about their international customer base. They might be worth giving a try.

US have some heavy duty regs on plants and plant materials being taken in and out . Not as bad as Australia (or good depending on your POV!) but strict , regardless . Dont know how this affects hops but I wouldnt be surprised if it did .
