I'm in the middle of the 'dextrinization' rest of a Hochkurz mash for this flanders red recipe. This will be my first real long-term aging project:

The recipe I'm trying is Nick R's - cheers mate. Right now I'd better rush down to the health food shop where I remember seeing some very old, flavourless looking hops a while ago.
Bummer, no more crusty hops. My next best options are fresh saaz pellets or older willamette flowers. I was aiming to boil for 90mins (of 120min boil) to get around 14-15ibu. Opinions welcome!
have heard you can chuck you hops in the oven for a bit to debitter them, but just did a search on google and nothing like that came up at all...
i'd go the willamette flowers...if you are aging it for sometime, I reckon you could get away with 15 ibu's worth.
Hmmm, now that recipe looks rather suss to me haysie- is it one you bagged while on safari by any chance?a simple brew day turned upside down outside of my control, 3 hour mash, 2.5 hr boil, on the upside i fitted a cereal mash in and did some water adjustments during the 9 hr brewday whilst being called away.
