Dry Hop with Nugget

[Pyg]

Making a summer pale ale (recipe below)

I don’t like to waste what I spent money on, so only using some of the hops irks me.
I bumped up the nugget to 1/2 Oz, but was considering using the other half to dry hop.
Having little to know knowledge of nugget, not sure if this will work given the hops I am using?

Any thoughts or advice?

Looks like it is possible, as an aroma hop Nugget is apparently herbal and resiny and is a good counter-point to floral and cistrusy hops.

Found one discussion on it and the contributors seemed to like it. Dry hop with Nugget?

Nugget is pretty mild. Not sure you'll get a lot out of it. I don't think it's the best choice for the other hops, either.

Thanks for advice. I think instead of fry hopping with nugget. I will just use the other 1/2 of Nelson (60% actually) in the dry hop!

My OCD doesn’t like to use .4 Oz when I can just round up to a half!
