WHat to do with a pound of sterling hops?

[billk911]

I have roughly one pound left of sterling hops that I got from a local brewery. I have no idea what to do with them right now. I have 4 lagers in my two freezers right now so it has to be an ale. Preferably something big and bold but I am open to any ideas. Something that can ferment in the upper 60 range. Calculate these to be about 3% alpha due to the age.

brew365.com is one version - I can't remember if I used this or something similar.

sub Sterling for Crystal - it's a great beer with the Crystal I assume it will work well with sterling.

Do a big Sterling pale ale, I'll bet the aromas would be amazing. Great summer beer to complement those lagers.

I grow Sterlings; I haven't found a beer that they didn't taste good.

I like to blend Sterling and Citra. Great combination for a hoppy brew. I find the combination also lends itself well to dark grain bills.
