Last month was harvest time and the local group held "Hop Madness" at one member's tree farm. A small truck load of hop vines were purchased and dragged to the scene. About ten guys hauled gear over and brewed with the hops right off of the vine. I had an IPA brewed two weeks prior and a randelling keg. I loaded the randal with hops and transferred the IPA. Tasted a lot like grass! I took it home and the next weekend filtered it to a new keg. Another three weeks & it's good!
Moral of the story: randal with dried hops, unless you have a couple kegs on tap and can wait.
