Bred in Oregon and released in 1982, it built its reputation in the kettle rather than the dry hop, and it remains the hop many brewers reach for when they want firm bitterness without spending half the hop bill to get there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an alpha acid content around 13%, Nugget does the work of two ounces of a low-alpha variety in a single ounce. What it gives beyond bitterness is a heavy herbal and resinous character, more green and piney than fruity, that suits classic American ales and anything meant to taste assertive rather than delicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong herbal and green character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePine and resin, leaning dank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeppery, spicy edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight stone fruit underneath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirm, clean bitterness with no harshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsed at 60 minutes it disappears into the beer as pure bitterness.

Add 0.5 to 1 oz at 15 minutes or at flameout if you want the herbal, resinous character to show. Nugget is used in the dry hop less often, but a small charge adds a dank green note behind fruitier varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePair it with citrus-forward American hops such as Cascade, Centennial or Citra, which sit comfortably on top of Nugget's herbal base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlpha Acid: 13%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavor Notes: Herbal, spicy, piney, resinous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypical Use: Bittering, occasionally dual purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Additions: 60 min, 15 min, flameout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstitutes: Columbus, Chinook, Galena, Magnum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeer Styles: American IPA, pale ale, stout, porter, barleywine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're building the bitter spine of an American IPA, adding a resinous edge to a stout, or simply reaching a bitterness target without burning through ounces, Nugget delivers efficient, dependable bittering with a character all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clawhammer Supply","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":46640238395590,"sku":"nugget-1oz","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 oz","offer_id":46640238428358,"sku":"nugget-2oz","price":3.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":46640238461126,"sku":"nugget-4oz","price":7.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":46640238493894,"sku":"nugget-8oz","price":15.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/6682\/files\/hop-pellets_67142df2-da1d-478e-a2e7-58e70adfc12c.png?v=1785533591","url":"https:\/\/www.clawhammersupply.com\/products\/nugget","provider":"Clawhammer Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
