For my latest batch of brew (Imperial Pale Ale) I used hop pellets in lieu of the real thing and so far I am disappointed with the results. I've just transferred to the secondary carboy and at this stage the brew lacks the strong hoppy smell and taste that my other brews have had at this point in the fermentation process. In addition, the pellets used for dry hopping turned into mush and dispersed all through the batch causing a cloudy mess. I will have to wait another few weeks to get my first taste, but until then I'm missing the fresh hops of brews past.
