I planted 2 hop rhizomes next to one another in my garden. One was Cascade, the other Chinook. This was their 2nd year and they did well. When I harvested the hops, I didn’t try to differentiate the two and mixed them in vacuum sealed bags. Now what to do? How can I separate them? Or does anyone have a good recipe where it wouldn’t matter? Arrgh…
It’d work in most any APA and AIPA recipe. They blend well.
This is the first beer I brewed after a 10 yr brewing hiatus. It’s an amber. Brings back fond memories. It’s a recipe developed by the Homebrewers of Middle Mississippi (HBAMM) and has been sold as a kit on rebelbrewer.com for years.

PS. I wanted to be true to original above. But, I rebrewed with Denny’s Fav yeast and liked that version better.
I wouldn’t sweat it and brew whatever recipe that goes well with american hops you like. I grow both of those & could probably separate most of the cones based on size & shape and/or aroma (my chinook are much longer than my cascade) but I don’t think it would be worth it now that they are all scrutched down from vacuum sealing.
Cascade and chinook work well together. I’d happily use them together in a pale ale, IPA, saison, etc.
Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll try using them “as-is” in an AIPA or something. I’ve never brewed a saison, may go with that…
