Hey Guys,
I've always used hop pellets for the sake of convenience. What are your experiences of the performance of flowers vs hops?
Do you find Are pellets ok for bittering and flavour, but flowers are more suitable for aroma (late addition and dry hopping)?
I'd like to have a crack at the Coopers Pale Ale Clone by AndrewQLD in the Recipe DB. It specifically calls for Pride of Ringwood flowers instead of pellets. I've heard POR hop pellets are notorious for causing a harsh bitterness. Do you find a similar case for other hop varieties?
cheers,
pirateum
