What to do with my Fresh Hops?

BeerCat · Oct 1, 2015

So today i came across these beauties. I cant smell much at the moment as have a cold but wondering of course what to do with them? Do i dry, use fresh and if so how much more? Guessing 4 times as much but I dunno what type they are or even when its best to harvest them?
Any advice most welcome as always. :thumb:

I think you need 8-10 times as much as dried hops.

I suppose i should of weighed some as soon as i cut it then dried it to see the difference. Am gonna put it in the fridge and try a pale ale tomorrow fingers crossed. I do like hops so hopefully it wont be too bitter.

I would just use your fresh hops as late hops, use hops you've bought for bittering.

Not sure how long the hops keep fresh but made some APA with honey last night. Forgot to taste the wort so guess will find out in a week or so. First time i made a starter for beer as well.
