I recently picked a bunch of home grown hops. I have a vacuum sealer so I decided to vacuum seal them instead of dry them. I have heard that there is no difference between using dry and wet hop flowers. Is this true?
I'll be bittering with some super alpha pellets so all the home-grown hops (100g (wet) of cluster in this case) will be thrown in at 5mins. Will this work ok do you reckon?
And one more thing... in other brewers' experience, how much weight is lost by drying the hops? I have just over 100g of flowers wet. When putting them into beersmith, what do you reckon the equivalent dry weight would be (roughly)?
Thanks! :beer:
