How should I use my fuggle hops?

[JRBeer]

I was able to buy some fuggle hops that are locally grown and I'm excited to use them but I'm not sure what to make. I have never used fuggles but I have heard they are similar to tettnang hops which I have used for a raspberry wheat. My reading tells me fuggles are a little more earthy than tettnang so I'm not sure what I should brew with them. Does anyone have an recommendations of what I should brew. A specific recipe, a style, or anything would be helpful.

Thanks you!

PS I have been lurking around this forum ever since I started brewing, it's nice to finally join.

Fuggles arent very tettnang like, except that they are mild compared to most C hops.

They an earthy herbal english hop. Willamette is a domestic equivalent, so you can sub them wherever willamette is called for, like in an more mild american amber would be ok.

I like them in mild and darker english styles. Porters, brown ales, stouts, old ales. You can put them in a bitter too, especially if you mix it with something brighter, like goldings.

Also you could use them in most belgian styles, dubbels, quads, lighter styles like trippel or even saisons, if you got a funky yeast.

Exactly what giraffe says. Darkish British styles, the odd pale ale. They are earthy and dank, at least the UK grown ones. I like them the most as a 15-20m addition. They are delicate compared to C hops so the 15m addition seems to squeeze more flavour out of them. You can also use them to dry hop a British pale like a bitter or IPA, but usually in combination with something else like EKG, Styrians or Progress.

I have used them exclusively in my American Ambers and people have said that it is a great floral aroma and flavor.
