So I visited the Redhook brewery and got to talking with the tour guide about homebrewing. They had the obligatory ingredient samples out, including some hops.
The very nice tour guide offered to give me a mixed bag of the hops, which includes Cascade, Saaz, Willamette, and Hallertau (maybe Tettnag instead?). He said they have been out about 3 weeks at room temp and repeatedly exposed to air. I have a good 6 oz of these mixed hops, and who knows what the ratio is...
Can I do anything with these hops, or are they just done for?
.planned:
•Scottish 80/- •Sweet Stout •Roggenbier .primary | bright:
98: Moss Hollow Soured '09 72: Oude Kriek 99: B-Weisse 102: Brett'd BDSA 104: Feat of Strength Helles Bock 105: Merkin Brown .on tap | kegged:
XX: Moss Hollow Springs Sparkling Water 95: Gott Mit Uns German Pils 91b: Brown Willie's Oaked Abbey Ale 103: Merkin Stout
98: Yorkshire Special 100: Maple Porter 89: Cidre Saison 101: Steffiweizen '09 (#3)
I was hoping for/counting on them being ok for bitering still. Since I can't determine AA%, what should I assume it to be? I'd guess the mix is about 1/3 Cascade.

What to do with old hops?
Now I just need to think of a Redhook-homage name for the brew.
