I hop my IPA's and Pale Ales almost exclusively in the last 15 minutes and have been very very pleased with the results.

I have 2 locals that I use and one that I have never been to, but the feedback I hear is positive. One that is great, a little pricey but they are helpful. One that they act like they have no interest in my business. It stinks that your local isn't the best, but if they are that bad you can...
