So I got in on the Hopsdirect yard sale and picked up a pound each of 5 different types, 4 of which I haven't used before. One of them is Admiral. I looked around on HBT and there aren't a lot of posts related to this hop, so I thought I'd reach out to see if anyone has used this in an ESB or English Pale Ale of some sort.
I'm thinking of a Fuller's ESB-ish beer using all Admiral hops up to about 45 IBUs. I've heard this is a great bittering hop for English beers (supposedly a sub for challenger/northdown), but not sure about late addition...anyone have experience in this area? If not Admiral, I can probably find something else for late addition, but I will have a whole pound of it. Thanks!
