Brew crisis....help

[g2rnewton]

So I am brewing beers for a friends daughters wedding in October. Brewing 2 batches of Oktoberfest.

Just realized my kits had hops mixed up. Gave me 2 packs of aroma in first batch. 2 bettering hops in second.

Didn't catch the mistake on first one, bottled them today. Brewing second batch now.

Should I just use 1 pack of bitter hop and don't worry about aroma hops?

Also, any idea what the first batch will taste like? Hate idea of brewing a third batch, since I just bottled it.

Thoughts?

Depends completely what kind of hops, what alpha percentage, what weight, and how long they were boiled.

Tell us what kind of hops, how much of each kind, and what the alpha acids were of each kind.

60 min boil. 1 oz of Nobel German. Not sure of alpha percent?

I regularly use aroma hops for my entire hop schedule So IMO your first batch depends on the hops should be ok but bittering hops for your second batch is a different story unless you can get some finishing hops to add. I'm not a big hop head so maybe it'll work for you.

Thanks. That makes me feel better about first batch. Since oktoberfests are a low hop style anyways, I figured it isn't a disaster.
