I'm at a rolling boil and I've just realized I don't have any hallertau hops for my german hef. I used them all on my last batch. I'm over an hours drive from the nearest supply shop. These are my options:
- 1 oz of whole leaf hallertau that I bought from an out of the way wine store about 4 or 5 months back. I opened them after purchase they smelled a little funky, so I've kept them in the freezer ever since. Who knows how old they are. They still smell funky.
- 1 oz of cascade pellets. Bought these fresh about 10 months back. But they've been sitting in the fridge (not freezer) ever since. They're smelling a little funky themselves.
Luckily it's not a highly hopped beer, but what should I do? Which should I use.?Should I just boil and skip flavor aroma?
