These are really old, but well stored. Food Saver and around -20df. They smell really nice, but it's been forever since I used them for anything. I say use them. Actually, at my place it's PO (Power Off)...........

whatever works for you dj, I have only used Cluster just once,and I did in fact use them at flameout, and alas, I was never truly happy with that beer, a Cream Ale.The whole beer gave me the one impression. of Original Coors.Personally if I were looking to use them up I would use them in the 60 minute addition. but YMMV

Well, this is going to be an early summer lawnmower beer. A little Magnum early, Cents at 30 and 15 and Crystal for FO. OG around 1.040 assuming efficiency works as usual and 40 IBUs just because... Actually, I'M not really concerned since they smelled great to me ( and K) and this will be an aroma addition. Just talking for the hell of it......

Yeah, yeah, yeah.... I don't get them mixed up like I used to <_< . Since then, I threw those *&#%^# Crystal hops away. Hope nobody got hurt..... I hated those, even more than Fuggles (which I will still bury in QS Stout the next time I brew it - ocasionally they have a place here). But that's just me.

I just this day finished my last cluster pellets they were my first hops purchase online.An entire pound for $6 , i thought i had a good deal .That was 2006. I don't see myself buying more of them , i used them for the bittering addition in a porter.Never used them at flameout.
