whole wheat

[truebrew2009]

Ok here goes going to brew a pilsner in a kit . So it has some whole wheat hops . It says to put the whole wheat hops at the last minute of boil. What would happen if it stayed in longer then a minute? Would my beer taste nasty, or be bitter, and would it be darker in color? Thanks guys true

Do you mean whole LEAF hops? Hops added later in the boil are more for flavor and aroma while hops added earlier are for bittering. I would say that, added earlier, you would have a more bitter beer...Probably not very noticable though if added only a few minutes earlier.

The color would not change
