The B3 one uses Northern Brewer and Williamette.

It is basically the the same recipe, my OG is higher, and I have used different hops that I subbed in that work very well IMHO.

So you prefer the Nugget over the Glacier you used last year? I also just realized you are dry hopping.

I do prefer the Nugget... but remember here I am not chilling my wort, which is why I am dry hopping... err did dry hop it. If you chill your wort, do a flameout addition.
