Direct freezing of green/undried hops - any views?

If you have a hop related question about International Bittering Units or alpha acid, post it here!

Hi BB

Did you freeze these ones w/o drying. The norm is to use 6x when using green hops. Although you probably retained some elements that normally blow off in the drying process.

Still if it worked for you and made a great beer. Good for you.

How are your hops looking like this year?
