Just found out my neighbour's mom has a ton of hops growing at her house and they are going to be ready for harvest in the next few weeks, since this is a once a year opportunity and my first ever for brewing I was wondering what I could brew that would benefit from fresh hops the most, something I could plan to start shortly after we pick our crop.
I was thinking ESB or a Pale Ale but I really don't know... so any recommendations?
Also I understand that 60% of fresh hop weight is water, should that effect the amount I use in my brewing? Any advice would be helpful since I have no idea what to do...
Oh and recipes recipes recipes, we will both(neighbour too) want to brew with fresh hops and we wont want to brew the same thing to maximize our experimentation.
We will allegedly have the equipment to do BIAB by then but were only extract capable at the moment...
