Progress hops

[Dronfieldbrewer]

anyone got any ideas?

I have a pack of Progress 100gms and wondered what to do with them....

With new hops, if in doubt I normally do an IPA using the whole 100g with at least half of the hops at 15 mins and flame out, not too crazy on the bitterness. Beers like that generally go down well IMO

That way you can at least get an idea of what the hops are like.

I have read that they can be a replacement for fuggles...however they smell totally different to fuggles and the AA is a lot higher.

I will try to do a single hopped bitter with them to see

Hope it goes well, let us know how it turns out.

Great in a Northern brown ale and in milds. Good hop, actually works really well as a freshly harvested (green) hop.
