nice post! thanks for sharing! glad to hear it turned out well; I know Nelson can be tricky to work with sometimes!
 
Coriolis from NEBCO is great. That is what inspired me to make a heavy Nelson DIPA. Ridiculous flavor.
 
Just got my Nelson hops in yesterday. The rest of my brew orders will come this week and will have 4 beers to choose from, including this one for brew day this weekend.

Will update with info when I get to brewing this!
