Nugget dry hopping

[Pillsburyjoboy]

I just made a super light "franken beer" with leftover ingredients. Some flaked wheat, some 2 row, some Belgian Pilsner malt, tetnang, Hallertau and saf- 05.

I did a ten gallon batch and hit my targets ~ 1.050 & 1.004.

I am thinking of dry hopping one secondary with some nugget hops. Thoughts?

I have read a bunch on this but not found anything definitive.

Suggestions welcome.

Sure - for SCIENCE! if nothing else
I've never used Nugget...for anything...but from all accounts, expect heavy herb.
If you have some Hallertau left I'd do the other half with that...

Cheers!

I did a Maris Otter/Nugget SMaSH. It was..... Interesting....... Named it Otter's Nuggets.

I did like it.

I am no good at describing flavors so I can't tell you what to expect and it was a couple years ago so my memory of it is........

nugget is a nice clean bittering hop used @ 60 mins, I use it all the time in English & Anglo-American styles.
I'm afraid it would come across as quite herbal used as a dry hop, but I've not personally tried it.

edit...
I just found this & it looks like something you might want to read

I ended up using an ounce of Hallertau and an ounce of tetnang for dry hopping. Little added flavor. If anything, it took away from the flavor. No benefit it seems.

Any suggestions for adding some hops in keg? Hoping to drink in three days with buddy's and am not so proud right now...

Thoughts and suggestions welcome.

Should have done the nugget!

I am about to add 3oz along with citra, mosaic and simcoe to a DIPA. Nugget smells so good. I can't imagine it not being awesome in a dry hop! Will be my first time using it that way, but I just love the aroma so I'm sure it will be goodness.

dry hop in the keg by putting the hops in a sanitized 1 gallon paint strainer bag tied off with a piece of dental floss. Pinch the dental floss in the seal of the lid when you close it up. You can add a stainless steel ball bearing or glass marble to the bag to weight it down.
