Bug-eaten hop cones

[clingy]

Some of my hop cones have holes from bug munchies.

Would you all still use those cones in your beer or toss?

Understand boil would kill germs but what about for dry hopping?

To answer my own question, I'm tossing them. Just harvested over 1 oz the other day, and they accounted for ~10% of my hops.

Seriously?

I am only guessing here but I'd expect at least 70% of any commercial hops you buy to have had some sign of bug damage.

Heck, would not surprise me if at least 1% per ounce to be processed bug bits.
