I just ordered a copious amount (in terms of homebrew batch sizes, anyway) of freshly picked, frozen, and sealed organic hops. Enough to last me a couple years I'd bet.
I want to know something about dry-hopping. Should I have any concern about adding 'un-sanitized' hops to the brew? Do I add it after the primary when there's an alcohol content to the batch? Will the 8% alcohol in the beer kill all the nasties at this point?
I'm a fan of hops, and with 5 varieties coming my way, I have some room to play.
Thx.
