Use them wherever you would use Fuggle. I personally like them in porters. |

Do they have the associated fuggles stigma, ie tastes like dirt?
I was thinking of using them in an IPA. Maybe not such a good idea? |

I think they have a little less dirt than Fuggles. But maybe that's just me.
Will be fine in an IPA as long as they are mixed with something else, esp. EKG. |

I use them in my Porterhouse ale. Pale malt, crystal 60L, a little chocolate, a little black patent, and a touch of wheat malt.
1 oz Willamette 60 min. 1/2 oz. Willamette 10 min. 1/2 oz. Willamette dry hop secondary.
Ferment with Munton's dry yeast.
Brew on,

As the others suggest, Willamettes are an Americanized version of Fuggles. I consider them a little less "earthy." They are the finishing hops I use in my St. Chuck's porter. Try them and see how you like them compared to English Fuggles. |

Willamette has become one of my favorites for bitter, of course mixed with Kent Goldings. |

BTW
Hops Direct has them for 10.50 a pound. Prices for others have dropped a bit.

Absolutely Nothin! Say it again y’all.
Willamette tend to get a bad rap, but I find them quite pleasant in small amounts. I dry hop my house amber with ~1/2 ounce, and they are cleanly earthy and floral at that amount. |

I like them for bittering but I do not like them for flavor or aroma hops.
I have found that they often give a somewhat metallic flavor when used late in the boil |

Use 50/50 with Cascade for finishing in an APA. It's a nice blend. |

I would if Cascades didn't cost their weight in gold over here! US hops are just SOOOOO expensive. I got these from a local brewery so he gave them to me for a few quid. If I were to buy them from a Homebrew shop I'd be looking at close to £25 worth. |

I've used Willamette in belgians when I was out of Goldings and they were fine. |

I've used them in porters, brown ales, pale ales. I've even seen IPA recipes that call for them. Pretty universal hop for most ale styles, I'd say. |
