Troegs Nugget Nectar

Has anyone here seen a clone recipe for this one somewhere?
A link or something would be helpful.
I am doing a lttle research into making an Amber and I really like this one's malt profile and color.
I know the hops aren't all nugget as I remember seeing it somewhere in the past.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

EDIT

OK I should have done this first but here is the info from the Troegs website.

7.5%ABV
93 IBUs
Straw/Orange
Pilsner, Vienna and Munich Malts
Hops: Nugget, Warrior, Tomahawk, Simcoe, Palisade
HopBack: Whole Leaf Nugget
Dry Hop: Nugget and Warrior

Now I need to play with it in BeerSmith.  Amazing that the color is just from those there.  But its beautiful simplicity at the same time.
The hop back part might be difficuly to recreate at home as I don't have one and I use an immersion chiller.

hmmmmm



 

What a hop monster.  93 IBUs, hop back, and dry hop?  Wow.  You could try replicating the hop back through an increase in the dry hop applications I suppose.  Hmmmm

 

I have a clone for their Hopback Amber, which also uses pilsner, munich, but c-20 instead of vienna. If I bump into something I'll let you know.

 

I found this:

Here's the Nugget Nectar recipe located in Zymurgy (31:4) July/August 2008.

For 5 U.S. gallons (19L)
O.G. 1.075
86.5 IBU
11.4 SRM
90' Boil


6.5 lbs Continental Pils Malt
7.0 lbs Munich Malt
5.0 oz Crystal 120L

1.00 oz 13%aa Nugget 60'
0.50 oz 13%aa Simcoe 30'
1.00 oz 16%aa Warrior 20'
1.25 oz 16%aa Tomahawk 0' or hopback
1.00 oz 8%aa Palisade 0' or hopback
1.00 oz 13%aa Simcoe DH
1.00 oz 8%aa Palisade DH

Cal-Ale yeast

Mash 152F.



 

I personally would swap out the simcoe at DH, many complain of the "cat piss" that simcoe gives off, I think it is OK in the flavor, lends a balance, but the aroma can be overbearing IMHO. It has been awhile since I tasted the real deal, so not so sure. Maybe I will pick up a bottle later.

 

Thirsty:
Thanks for the recipe, I probably have that copy of zymurgy at home I'll have to look for it.
I wonder if there is a version of it in the BYO 150 Clone recipe issue.

Interestingly thought the hoping schedule is in conflict with whats on the site right.
Hopback is said to be soley nugget.
And zymurgy has no nugget in the dry hop.

I'll have to look at the issue to see if there is any good reasoning for this discrepancy.

On a side note, according to the Troeg site hop back Amber is only pils and munich, no C-20 or vienna.

I may have to submit this one to the Can You Brew it Show at TBN to see if they pick it up.

Not sure if you'd get the same result of dry hopping as with a hop back.
A hop back is usually used in one of two ways with hot wort or cooled wort.
With hot wort, there would be a small amount of isomerization.  Helping to increase the IBUs a tad.
If the hop back was being used cold, then maybe dry hopping could replicate the effect.

That will be a critical piece of info in replicating the process.

Nope. That is the first place I looked, they just have the Hopback Amber recipe.

And I also looked, my packy didnt have any NN, but they did just get in their first shipment of Goose Island here on the east coast! So I snagged a sixer of their IPA, I'll give that a shot tonight. Excited to have the GI available now, you guys got it yet in Boston?

I live in PA, Philly to be exact, and was able to get NN on a regular basis.  I haven't seen it in awhile though.  It's one of my faves, been really wanting it as of late.  The last time I bought a case of it, I gave it away as a gift to a member of my homebrew club who invited me into this bourbon barrel project that we have going on.  Dude hooked us all up with beer from his stash when we filled the barrel with a Dubbel that we all brewed up, so I thought that it was only fair that I return the favor.
