Greetings,
I am going to try a little experiment on a Wheat Beer kit I was given at Christmas. The kit came with 2 cans of Unhopped Wheat Malt, a package of hops and some yeast.
Looking at various Wheat beer recipies I have decided to do a little hops substitution. I will be using Hallertauer in leiu of the package that came with the kit. I could only find the Hallertauer in pellet form and am wondering if I should use more or less pellets in a recipie that calls for leaf hops?
I am thinking about 1.5 oz for a 30-60 min boil. Then maybe .5 oz at flameout (or 10 mins).
What's the conventional wisdom on pellets? Seems like you might need to use less since they are more "dense" than leaf type.
Thanks in advance for your advice and wisdom.
