Hi, this is my first post here. I've learned a lot reading this board over the last few weeks though. I'm new to homebrewing (have brewed two batches so far) and am really enjoying it! A friend from Oregon mailed me a 3.5 lb bundle of whole nugget hops which he bought from a local farmer. No idea on the AA.
I've brewed one batch with them (a recipe from my LHBS). It is a double IPA that uses 2lbs 2-row, 1lb munich, .5lb crystal 40l, 9lb liquid pale extract, and 7 oz of nugget hops (2 oz being dry hopped). I haven't tried it yet (its had 2 weeks in the primary, 2 in the secondary, and one in the bottles) but I only ended up with 18 22oz bottles...I think I lost a lot of water with the specialty grains.
So, what do I do with all these hops?! I did a search and found some AG recipes, but I'm not ready for AG. Anyone have any good extract or easy partial mash recipes that use a LOT of nugget hops (like...i wouldn't balk at 10oz of hops)?
