Just bottled this afternoon. FG came down to 1.017 so I am pretty happy with that. Sample was awesome. Of my 3 brews this is the first one I though tasted good at bottling. Only complaint was that I expected slightly more hop aroma. I will report back in a few weeks. @sivdrinks: Sorry for the...

Does anybody have any recommendations for replacing the Nelson Sauvin (no luck tracking it down)? I have read that there are not really any substitutes, but maybe something else that would pair well the rest of the hop schedule?
