I rose early one Sunday morning in late August to harvest these fresh hops. I filled a bicycle pannier with them before dawn, and was brewing with them by 10:00 am, same day. I used 4 ounces of hops flowers in the boil for the first 40 minutes, then introduced a second infusion of 2 oz from 30 - 60 minutes of the boil, and a third infusion of 2 oz from 45 - 60 minutes, using exclusively this fresh hops.
The resulting beer is not very bitter at all - in fact, it's downright sweet and quite floral in its after taste, a very interesting and delightful ale, if you're not exclusively fixated on super-hopped, cheek-cavingly bitter IPAs.
Cheers!
