A neighbor has a huge hop plant in his yard and is giving me a large bag full of hops this week. I'm planning to brew this weekend using these hops and would appreciate any tips or suggestions. My plan is to make a very basic pale ale (extract), maybe with a bit higher OG in the 1065 range, and load as much of these hops as I can into the pot - probably an ounce or so at 60 min., an ounce at 30, and then as much more as I can get in the pot between 15 and flame-out.
I've only used hop pellets up to this point. I plan to use a muslin bag or grain bag in my boil to get these hops in and out.
I have some pictures of the hops - let me know if it would help if I posted them as I would like to identify them if possible.
thanks.
