I would say nugget would be your most versatile. Higher alpha so you can use to bitter. Has some true “hop” character. Earthy, resinous, floral. I like it a lot.I would like to grow my own hops in northeast Michigan. I'm new to beer, but have been making wine for years. Thank you for your suggestions and advice.
Alpha acidsThanks everyone. A thread just for abbreviations might be helpful! Don't know what AA is, pretty sure it's not Alcoholics Anonymous.
Don't tell the Brits that! Publicans have been dry-hopping for hundreds of years.English ales don’t usually use flavoring or aroma additions.
Thanks Okie, that list is very helpful.Karn, there are many homebrew glossaries out there that tell you what the abbreviations or acronyms mean. I can't find the one I used to use, but hear is a short one: Glossary of Homebrew Terminology » YOUR HOMEBREW
I don't know what flavor I'm seeking. I'm new at this. I do like Short's Bellaire Brown. I just made my first batch of beer and am not crazy about the taste (Amber Block Party). I am able to order these three hops, so was looking for some advice.What flavors are you looking for from these hops? The three you list have different character and would be best suited for certain styles. All three could have broad application but if you have specific interests it might make more sense to pick one over the other two.
