So, a friend spotted a post on NextDoor (I won't touch the app with a 10-foot pole, but I'm glad she was on it!) from a guy giving away the hops in his yard. He doesn't know the variety because they were planted by the previous resident. It looks like he has quite a lot to give away, so I was thinking I'd brew a wet hop pale ale or IPA this weekend using them.
Of course, not knowing the variety or even having a guesstimate of bitterness makes it a bit tricky. Anyone have a strategy for brewing with unknown hops?
