Title: Hop leaf or hop pellets
Post by: Phil on October 13, 2014, 08:00:33 PM
I am about to start my next batch for beer. Hoping to get a nice winter ale going, I was looking at the recipe online and it did 20g of saaz pellets but my local brew shop selling saaz leaf. Should I up the weight of the leaf is the a major difference or just a slight one

Cheers in advance

Does the recipe state what IBU's the 20g of hops should give? Just adjust the leaf hops to make up the same IBUs
