Never used leaf hops before. Just curious if they are that different then using pellets.
I'm mainly asking as I have brewed three different SNPA clones and none came out close. The BYO version shows to DH with leaf hops. I've read where SN doesn't dry hop SNPA but I am willing to give it a try to see if it helps to get close to the commercial version.
Going to follow the BYO version using 1056 for the yeast.

Any thoughts on using leaf hops vs pellets for the dry hop and what can I expect?
