Dry hopping experiences with fresh/wet hops

[anotherbeerplease]

I've come across some fresh /wet hops straight off the farm. I'm going to make a dipa with mostly late hop additions to maximize aroma + flavor.

Has anybody dry hopped with wet hops? Did you get grassy flavors or did it come out awesome? Should I use 4x the amount by weight since they are wet? Any other tips?

It came out awesome with no grassy flavors. Roughly 6x fresh to dry weight.

I'd go 5X normal dry weight.

Fresh hops should be used fresh. Within a day or two of picking. If not using that quick, weigh what you have and spread out on a screen to dry. Make sure air can get to them. I use a window type screen, spread out the hops in a single layer and place on some blocks in may garage. You don't say where you are from, so I don't know your temps right now. Alternative would be to use a dehydrator.

I am freezing the hops in vacuum sealed bags until use for brew day/ dry hopping. Thanks for the info. The farm had AA measured wet somehow so no conversion needed on the hot side, then on dry hopping I'll just use 4x normal amounts.
