I've found a few recipes that call for using fresh, undried hops straight from the vine and I like the idea. Fresh ingredients make better beer, right? Dehydrating something removes nutrients and some tastes, right?
However, some recipes (homebrew gardener recipe, for one) calls for only using fresh hops for late additions. Why? Does drying bring out bitterness?
Any advice for using fresh hops vs dry hops?
