They are a single point of data, but nonetheless they've gone and done some of these things and give the full detail for your own comparisons. It's just another point of information to consider.

I'm going to use their quick lager method this weekend, as there's good additional sources quoted and everything has been laid out clearly.
Fermenting: IPA, Lambic, Mead
Conditioning: Lambic, Cider, RIS, Ole Ale, Saison
On Tap: IPA, Helles, Best Bitter

If somebody is trying to tell me 3 year old aroma  "c" hops have the same vibrancy as 6 month old I'm gonna have disagree.
Bittering is a different story.

You can give me all the stats in the world, I won't put 3 year old hops into a beer.

As regards bittering, if hop age is not an issue, then why do tools like BeerSmith allow you to compensate for loss of alpha when using aged hops? The rationale behind this is obviously based on somebody elses equally convincing research. Who to believe?! :)

Let us know how the quick lager method goes its something I want to do soon.

I like the site a lot, read the articles and find it useful in lots of ways. I even have a Brulosophy t-shirt. I'm just amazed how little difference they discern in their group tastings for most experiments. I usually take what the author says as a better indicator.
