First year hops strength

[jengo]

Hey guys,
Just about to use my first year POR. Im expecting it to not be anywhere near the normal 10% AA. Does anyone know from there first year harvest what I should expect?

Cheers.

Unless you get it tested you can't know in advance, could even be higher than expected.

If you are able, you could estimate slightly on the low side, and add isohop based on taste samples after fermentation has finished.

If it was anything other than por I'd say just use it late...

Haha yeah i was waiting for someone to say that.
Cheers for the advice mate, that is a good idea about the isohop. Will give it a go and see what happens then. I will let you know after the boil. Cheers mate
