my 2nd year nugget plant gave me 5.5 0z dry this year. made one beer so far out of them. the cone size was good at 2.25 inches for the largest and an average of 1.5 inches overall. also found out that I kind of brake out if I do not wash off right after picking hops.

I have no idea, back in the 70s I did not know the difference between ale and lager. what I can say is that pbr was on the table quite a bite when I started to get tall enough to reach up there.
