Fresh Hops!

When I came home from work yesterday, I found this delightful surprise waiting on my dining room table:


Turns out one of my husband's coworkers grows hops (he's been homebrewing for quite some time now), and he says he's overrun with them this year.  He not only gave these to us, but he offered to give us a couple rhizomes as well.

I've not yet had the chance to brew with real fresh hops, so I'm looking forward to either tossing these in for the last 5 mins in my kettle, or maybe trying a dry-hopping experiment.  Either way, looks like I'll be brewing an American IPA post haste. (Err merr gerrd, they smell soooo good!)  Looks like it's time to pick out a recipe!

Cheers!
