    Does anyone use them? Any feedback would be great.

    I've had good luck with them. The hop bitterness is smoother than with many "actual" hops, closest to something like Magnum. Alone I find them too soft for an IPA, but they do well mixed with something like Columbus for tongue-grab.

    Thanks. I just recently used them in a younger clone and its still sitting in the fermenter. Just curious if they are worth the money. I have heard that clean up is a pain, but I didn't have any problem.

    I just used some of the NB hop shots in an PTE clone, but just bottled it a week ago so......did noticed some narely black specs stuck to the top of the brew kettle?? Not sure what that was from, had to scrub a little harder than usual.
