A buddy of mine gave me some cascade hops he has grown and dried. What is the ratio of dried hops to pellets? If a recipe calls for 1 oz of pellets how much of the dried cones would I use for the same purpose? Thanks
 
Also be aware dried cones with absorb quite a bit of your wort. You can put them in a muslin bag and squeeze it out at the end of your boil.
 
I sometimes use whole leaf for what seems like smoother, a bit fuller flavor. But they sure do soak up some wort. I use a dual layer fine mesh strainer anyway, so I squeeze'em.
