Probably an odd question since I couldn't really find any threads on it (granted, my search skills are lacking).
When making a starter, can hops be added to that for flavor and aroma in the beer?
I will be entering a contest where the wort will be supplied, boiled and hopped. As near as I can tell it will be pretty simple beer and we are to add our flair to it and the return a few bottles for judging, I would like to get a bit more bitterness and more hop flavor than what the profile states it will be and other than dry hopping, I was wondering if adding hops to the starter would be an option.
