    I brewed a APA with almost two pounds of fresh picked hops Saturday. I was shooting for something similar to Half Acres Daisy Cutter. I find Daisy Cutter to be a bit grassy, I think my wet hops will get something close, even though I didnt grow the hops they use. I did use their grain bill though. IPA or APA is always a good choice, depending on how many you harvest. Keep in mind the 5 (wet) to 1 (dry) ratio. Good Luck
