So the story is my dad is a federal grain inspector. Being that this is the season for hop harvests he has been grading a lot of hops lately.
He just sent me a big bag of mystery hops. He said the bag weighs about 1000 g and that they are from Idaho. Unfortunately the bag they are in is not sealed well at all and I don't have anything much better. That means long term storage is out of the question. Also they may have degraded a lot during transit.
I was thinking about brewing a single hop pale. My only worry is coming out with something that has a high bitterness without a good malt character to back it up.
So what do you think I should do with them?
