A home brewing buddy of mine recently moved out of state and gave me a crap load of hops he harvested from his well established bines last year. I'm guessing they're close to a year old at this point and have been stored in cheap freezer bags in his freezer. All the bags have lots of loose leaves and pollen looking yellow stuff (Lupulin gland secretions?). I probably have 8 bags of Cascade and another few of Chinook. I would hate to not use them but I don't wanna waste 5 hours and a brews worth of other ingredients for a crappy beer.
Most of his beers were pretty good but the worst (by his own admission) was a simple pale ale he made with these hops.
