You guys have me convinced to stock up on hops, so I was about to pull the trigger on a couple pounds of hops from FreshHops. I notice, though, that theirs are whole hops. I've never used whole hops, so I have questions before I order.
Is there anything special I need to do with them? Do I need to rip them apart to get the leaves off of the cones or anything weird like that?
Is the utilization about the same as pelletized hops? Would I be adding the same measures in my recipes???
Sorry if these are dumb n00b questions but I've never even seen whole hops other than pictures, let alone used them.
