Its good to use up stock
Let us know how the dry hop turns out as most would say this is best for bittering
I think there's a really old thread on here with fuggles as a dry hop but doubt the brewers are still online' (2011ish)
Was going to post a comment but didn't see the point although it is good when you got a reply
I can still remember a summer beer two years ago using challenger and ekg and still believe it to be one of my best results and this was pimping a wilko copper bitter!
For nostalgia I'll be making this one again , glad I still have the recipe
Although I think I'll partial mash with Maris rather than the DME and table sugar!
I find fuggles has a nice earthy and floral flavour, and whilst not the most pungent of hops does add extra dimension to the right beer style. I've used it to dry hop stouts where the earthiness goes really well with the chocolate and coffee flavours, and I'm using it here to give the beer an "English" flavour, and give a lot more depth to the malts and bitterness. It's interesting that it would be used as a bittering hop, it has quite a low AA%.
I found some homegrown cascade I added at FO as well, but I think I harvested it a bit too early and the flavour isn't as pronounced as it could be.
