Using frozen hop pellets

[RexBanner]

Evening all.
As the title says I'll be using hop pellets to dry hop a kit lager intend to make.
Thing is do i defrost them first or just fling them in and let the brew defrost and brrak them up??

Cheers all

Shouldn't make a difference. Go straight in.

Keep all hop products in freezer, then straight in after sanitising the nylon bag/weighing. But also use SS spray on the foil bag and scissors to kill any freezer bugs first!

There's so little moisture in pellets (oils don't count) so they don't actually freeze, just get very cold so.................

Chuck em in

I have heard a tale about letting the hops stand out for 24 hours then all this nasty gunk evaporates and the hops are betterer but I've never done an experiment.

3 minutes into that. He reckons myrcene is the nasty oil - hmmmm. I would try a split batch, though, for the shiggles, but normally straight out of the freezer into the vat unless I'm doing a hop tea.
