A little over a month ago, I brewed and had about 1.5oz of Cascade hop pellets leftover that i put in a small mylar bag in the freezer.
A little over a week ago, I brewed and had 1oz of Amarillo and .5oz of Citra pellet hops that I set aside for dry hopping, put them in a small mylar bag in the freezer.
Of course, I didn't label either bag. I THINK I know which is which, but I'm not really sure.
So, now I'm getting close to when I'm looking to dry hop, and I'm not sure what to do. I've smelled each bag of hops quickly and they smell quite similar, so I'm not sure how I can tell them apart.
I thought about making a little bit of hop tea with a few pellets to see if i can tell which is which, but since those hops are all related, I'm not sure if I'll be able to tell the difference there either.
I'm also considering just dry hopping with all three ounces. I'll know exactly what i dry-hopped with then. The beer in question is an american wheat beer, so that would be a bit more dry-hop than i was really going for, but wouldn't be completely out of place.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Pictures of Nelson pointing and saying "haha!"?
