I recently received the hop value pack from AHS which contains 3oz of each, summit, warrior, willamette, nugget, galena, and columbus

I was hoping to split my pacman I ordered im half using one for a recipe I already have and the other half in session beer to be used to build up the yeast cake for a bigger beer such as a mild/bitter to an ESB. I would like to let the hops shine as I have never used any of these hops before


long story short I wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to types of recipes (if not actual recipes) that would best exhibit the hops from this pack so that I can learn their best uses. I work in either LBK or 5g batches, AG is prefered but Im not against extract

Ever think of doing a SMASH ?
Single Malt and Single Hop

Might be a good one to do some BiaB batches.

bek, I got the same value pack you did. i plan to use most of them as simple clean bittering additions for my beers to let my flavor and aroma hops go a little further.

let me know if you do something cool with them, i might like to try as well.

Yup, a SMaSH is a great way to do it. I also find a simple American Wheat recipe (heavy on the late hops) is a great way to let the hops shine through.

seeing those hops, and then remembering a thread I saw "elsewhere" for troegs nugget nectar...something like this tweaked version might be right up your alley if you wanted to blend them instead of SMaSH-ing them all:
