I just picked a bunch of 'unknown' hops that a friend had. Another friend picked some hops a few weeks back and promptly froze them.
I want to brew this weekend and now I see everyone is drying their hops and fresh hops give off a 'grassy' flavor. But I also know some brewerys use 'just picked' hops in some of their beers.
If I used the ones I just picked, should I only boil them and not leave them in the primary? (Usually I leave them in until I transfer to the secondary)
any other thoughts/suggestions?
