Barley Crusher - Better Pellet Hop Utilization?

[BeerCanuck]

I was reading over a thread recently concerning Big hop flavor with 1/3 the hops and thought that was a stellar idea.

When adding pellet hops in the aroma / flavor stage you might get better hop utilization if the pellet were crushed. I noticed recently that the hop pellets that were added in this later stage were somewhat intact in the hop bag.

Now that's just plain old stupid...they dissolve as soon as they hit hot water...

I think you're packing them too tight in the hop bag
