    Never used hop pellets before. Do i have to make any changes to the hop addition when using these? Any other tips on using them?

    cheers

    think its about 15% less that whole leaf hops....they kind of get out through the muslin bag so do a whirlpool to get the gunk to gather at the middle..many go pellet all the way for better utilisation less solid matter to block up stuff etc

    They are actually more efficent than whole leaf, but you loose the filtering ability compare to hole leaf and a Whirlpool maybe bee needed

    Went ahead with the pellets anyway. I sieve everything that comes out of the kettle and a load still got through. Might run it through a muslin cloth before bottling or somethin. Deffo prefer the whole leaf for my set up

    How do you "whirlpool" anyway
