I can't remember the conversion factor, but when I wet-hopped a few weeks back I did a search here on HBT and went from there. I just bottled a few days ago so am not sure how the beer turned out, but it smelled great.

Approx 4 times the weight of dry. If you can't use them right away, freeze them "wet." Good luck and happy brewing.

I just used wet hops for the first time. Amarillo in the boil, and citra in secondary. 4 oz. wet = 1 oz. dry I think. it turned out fantastic, very very hoppy IPA. 4 oz in secondary took up alot of space, and held alot of beer at the end when i was bottling.
