beaut - can't go wrong !
must admit that I've never popped even a dried whole hop in a kettle, let alone a fresh one

Is dry hopping with fresh homegrown hops safe? I wondered about that last year after finding aphids on my hops.
Maybe dry the dry hops? Dunno.
Nice looking recipe!

Only if you take 'precautions' Mr C

'precautions'
I was being a bit silly - sounds like lack of 'precautions' in Wellington last year with a bit of a baby boom at the moment ?

"precautions" = Hop sock. Get one of those flowers loose in the kettle and you never know where it will end up.

Depends how you drain your kettle, seen a few piccies of kettles with false bottoms and the flowers are creating a nice filter bed

I was thinking you should dry them before dry hopping with them (as opposed to not drying them first).

Yeah I thought about that too, think I might just leave them green for the sake of the fresh hop flavor. Think ill do a fairly short dry hop too, 4 days max.

I've changed my mind about that recipe. I say drop the Motueka and use your homegrown hops for flavour and aroma without any other varieties. It'll be a great beer and then you'll know exactly what those hops taste like. You don't want to be left wondering which hop had which flavour. Go Gizzy Green!
