Okay, so I’m currently mashing and my first hop addition is in about 45 minutes. My friend just dropped off 1.5oz of mystery hops that his friend harvested a couple months ago. They appear dry, still whole, stored in a Tupperware (like Chinese food soup comes in) and I’m told lived in the freezer these last few months.
Knowing what I know about them, what is the best use for these hops? They could be stale. They could be not enough. I’m totally okay taking a risk just to see what happens. My recipe usually calls for 1.5oz Mt. Hood for 60 min and another 1.5oz Mt. Hood for 15 min.
I’m gonna do *something* with them soon so please give me your thoughts quickly! Thanks in advance!
