I was lucky to be able to pick almost a pound and a half of Nugget hops at Ohio Hops in Galloway. Nice folks. Brian was great – I recommend him for all your Ohio Hop needs! Anyway, I created a recipe with a single hop to showcase the flavor, and I think it will be a good one:

Please brew it and let me know how it goes. The hop numbers are for dry, to keep th AA calculations right. You can substitute fresh whole hops for the dry by multiplying by 5 or so. I used 10, 6 and 4.
