I would probably go with the Goldings just because that's what I usually use in my stouts. I haven't looked at the recipe, but honestly, I don't think any of those hops would be a bad choice (not familiar with Northdown, though). Most of the stout recipes I've done only call for a bittering addition, and as long as you shoot for the same IBU, it doesn't make a big difference in my experience.I'm planning a dry stout based of earthtone's post. However I have 3 english hops on hand and cant decide which to go with. I have Target, Northdown and Golding. I know earthtone runs with the goldings but I was looking for some thoughts from the blue board.

+1 good reasoning here, save that EKG for a BitterYeah, it's only a bittering addition. I'd use the one you are least likely to use in another beer. Any of them will be appropriate. I used Willamette in mine.

I think the consensus is that since this is a stout, it doesn't really matter. Use the ones that you would be least likely to use in something else. For me that would be the US Goldings.I could be way off base because this would be my first stout so I could use some more input here.

I would agree.Not knowing the OG, off the top of my head I'd say 48 IBU was a bit high for a dry stout. IMO, the roast provides the majority of the balance in a dry stout so that lots of hops are unnecessary.I think the consensus is that since this is a stout, it doesn't really matter.
