hops question

[TRIPLEMSU]

I got leaf hops for my next brew...is this the same as using whole hops or pellet hops?

I got 19 ounces of leaf hops and want to make sure it equates to the same amount as the others

Pellet hops get slightly better utilization that leaf hops (more bitterness per ounce). Brewing software will account for the difference.

Leaf hops soak up more wort than pellets and they can clog some pumps and chillers. I only use pellets in my brewery because leaf hops clog up my march pump.
