My apologies, that was supposed to be "Have". Damn auto-correct..

The ingredients in that BYO recipe calls for 1.5 oz of Nugget for 90 minutes, but the instructions indicate only a 60 minute boil. Has anyone brewed this, or does anyone have any input on this? Also, Troegs claim "93ish IBUs" and BeerSmith gives me 64 with this recipe.

So whos had this years batch? I think it is absolutely awesome! And I also have a batch of it fermenting, I think its been two weeks in primary so far. Another week and Im kegging and dry hopping.

Oh, yes, just had my first of this year's and, DAMN, so good...better than I remember it from last year!
Gotta make a clone....what recipe did you go with??
i wasn't too impressed with this years batch, it didnt have enough flavor from the hops. It was more of an imperial amber, its good but not what i was expecting after last years batch. It seemed to have a more pronounced hop profile last year.
I thought my first bottle of the year was a little less hoppy than i remembered. Then I opened it at the same time as Pliny, Sucks and Hopslam. It was plenty hoppy. What an awesome beer.

Disagreed. This years was the best I've ever tasted it in the past 4 or 5 years. It's less fruity/peachy, and has more of that dank Tomahawk and piney Simcoe focus. Drier than usual too, which I appreciated. Nugget Nectar is supposed to be a very Hoppy Imperial Amber / Quasi-IPA... not a sweet/cloying malty amber.
I decided to tweak the couple different ones I've seen on here with what I had on hand and what I typically like in IPAs, so don't expect this to be a clone, more of a cousin or rude uncle.
Fwh to get a smooth bitterness. 94 IBU calculated but the real thing doesnt taste that bitter. There's some trickeration going on with those trogner bros. If I calculate as a 20 min addition ibus are around 70 which *feels* right.
I didn't have any warrior or Columbus so I went with all nugget, simcoe, and Amarillo in the boil. I may put some nugget into the dry hop too, well see. I figure even if its not the real thing I can't go wrong with that hop schedule.
Grain bill I believe is damn close based on preliminary tastes and color comparison. I did a side by side real thing vs primary sample and the only difference between the two was mine was a little yeasty (expected). There is definitely a lot of Vienna in the real deal.
Keep in mind this is 11.5 gallons to the fermenter.

Notes:
Hey, all...I've been following this thread and have read through all the posts, trying to tweak a recipe. I've noticed that, while people have noted the Bros claim there's 80% Vienna, most of the recipes here have Pilsner malt in its place. So, I'm wondering which to go with as the biggest % . Has anyone brewed both ...one with Vienna, one with Pils as the biggest %? thanks
