Hi all: going to brew up this weekend using a bunch of fresh hops off the vine that I have. I really have no idea what variety this is, but they have a nice hoppy smell to them. To hedge my bet, I am going to use an ounce of Cascade pellets for bittering, and another ounce for flavor, and hop over the top with a bunch of fresh stuff off the vine, then dry hop later in the car boy with some of these hops I already picked and dried.
I plan to use the fresh hops as say 1lb @bittering hop, 1 lb flavoring, 1lb @5, 1lb @dry hop in the car boy.
My extract recipe is:
9lbs Light DME
1lb. Crystal 20L
1 oz. Cascade pellet bittering
1lb. fresh hops at same time
1 oz. Cascade flavoring.
1lb. fresh flavoring.
1lb. fresh aroma
1lb. dry hop.
Wyeast American Ale yeast
1 pack champagne yeast to make sure fermentation finishes off (a habit I got into way back in the 90s from my first homebrew shop).
Irish moss.
Thoughts? Hints please!
