2, 1 oz packs of Hallertau in original foil vaccu packs. Are they garbage? Or, can i double the amounts & be OK?
I've got some 6 year old Hops

Beersmith has a calculator (I don't have it with me now) to help you adjust your IBUs. But 6 years is a bit much, especially for a low hop like Hallertau.
Use in a lambic. Bittering acids are probably very low, but that's fine for a lambic.
Lambic yes, everything else no.
Beat to the punch, but, yes, lambic.

Looks like Lambic it is. Now i have to figure what a Lambic is.

Go buy a kriek (lambic from cherry). I like these better than framboise (raspberry) or peche (peach). There are others.

After a little research.....that looks like a pain in the ass! And a 6-9 month wait? I'm a little too impatient for that. Maybe I'll just throw them in a batch as a dry hop & if I get any aroma out of them, it's a bonus. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Don't dry hop with them! You don't want cheese-scented beer do you?

well, i do like me some cheese! But, maybe not in the beer. Looks like I'm out a couple bucks! Thanks.
