Hi folks, I have a pound of liberty hops and a pound of fuggles leaf hops, in going to dehydrate them in my food dehydrator, my question is after they are dehydrated how much many would I use? Just weigh the dehydrated hops like I would weigh the store bought pellets?
 
Fresh picked today? Assuming they were harvested at the correct time and have the proper chemistry, dry them down to somewhere between 1/4th and 1/5th the original weight and you should be able to use the same weights.

Reality is you shouldn't use them for bittering because the alpha's may not be right. Use store bought for that and these for flavor.
