I was hoping to get some direction on comparing the amount of Hop Pellets vs real (dried) flowers.
For my usual pale/golden Ale I dry hop the last 4-5 days of my secondary.
I dry hop with cascade 2g/litre (AA 4.5)
This year I have my first hop flower harvest of Cascade so I'm super keen to try and dry hop with my own flowers.
After I harvested the flowers (i'm pretty sure the right time) I dried them in the shade for two days and then vacuum sealed them and they sit in the freezer ready for me to use.
So my question is for a 16 litre batch I would normally use 32g of Cascade pellets @ AA 4.5.
What's the ball park figure (in grams) of real hop flowers dried and frozen to get me a rough comparable AA of the pellets.
Any advise would be appreciated.
I would certainly prefer too much hoppiness than not enough.
I always dry-hop in a hop bag (fine cheese cloth and a glass marble).
cheers
