Celeia hops for an ESB

[Wicked Wally's]

I recently put together a recipe for an ESB and wanted to use Target at 60 minutes, with EKG and Northdown at 10 and 0 minutes for aroma. My supplier was nearly wiped out of everything the day I was there so I found some Celeia from Yakima. I never tried it before but read that it was sort of like fuggles. I have the Target for bittering at 60 min. Should I use the Celeia or hold out for the goldings and northdown? Thanks.

Never heard of it myself but Charles Faram list it and say it's a Slovenian hop with an entirely Fuggle heritage. I would just use it as a straight substitute for Fuggles.

Goldings and Fuggles are very different though, though they are both very 'English', I would adjust my expectations if I were subbing Fuggles in for Goldings. I wouldn't not brew though, Fuggles are a cracking hop for English pales.

I haven't heard of it either, but I used Fuggles / EKG in mine, and I like it. I don't use a lot of high alpha stuff to bitter with. I know, I'm weird. If something is like a Fuggles, and you are doing an English beer, you probably can't go too wrong. I thought I would play around with a tiny amount of Victory malt in mine too. That is about the only thing I might change in the future...Leaving it out.
Go pretty close to straight English. WLP 002 and mash at 154. yumm, yummm, yummm.

Thanks. I was also wondering if it would work as an aroma hop for my chocolate peanut butter stout. I use Willamette usually but, again, they were out. I've read that it can be a close substitute.
