In the middle of brewing a batch... Hop question...

ILurvTheWhiskey · Nov 8, 2008

My LBS gave me whole hop leaves instead of pellets. Do I use these in the same way I would pellets, gram per gram? Any ideas? In a middle of a batch and appreciate the help.

You'll get about less utilization from the leaf hops as compared to the pellet hops. IIRC the conversion rate is .8. So, 1 ounce of leaf is equal to .8 ounce of pellet.

Excellent, so I'll use a little more. Anybody use Saaz in their Pilsners?

I'm no expert, but in the wiki it says that those are the traditional hops in Czech pilsner.

Saaz is the hops used by Pilsner Urquell, my favorite pilsner.

You got leaf Saaz. nice, I've only used saaz pellets. One of my favorite hops. I think you get better flavor from whole hops.

luck
