Hop Substitution List
Hop Substitution List
Below is a list of Hops with their alpha acids and substitutes.
We don't stock all of these hops, but we most likely have a substitute for them. So if you have found a recipe that you like, this is a good guide to find matching hops.
This chart has been drawn up to help you find the right hops for your home brew recipe.
As you can see, the choice is vast! We might not have every single hop in stock at Get Er Brewed, but we will certainly have a close substitution.
You can use the list as intended, or work backwards—for example, if you’re looking to try a hop that’s similar in flavour and aroma to some others you’ve used before, scroll through the final column to locate the hops you’re familiar with. Then read back to the first column to see which hop you could substitute them for.
If you would like help finding the hops you need, or you’d like to discuss ordering in bulk for your microbrewery, please get in touch. We’ll be happy to help.
