Crushed Hops

[perryni]

I have been storing some hop leafs in my freezer for about 6 weeks or so and I am planning a brew next weekend.

I checked the hops yesterday but found that some of leafs have been crushed to a powder.

Will I still be able to use them by putting the leafs and 'the powder' into the boil?

Cheers
Nick

Mine came out of the freezer yesterday and there was a certain amount of fine/crushed stuff it there .... it all got bunged into the boiler just as usual :!: I think the flavour aromas etc would be just the same as whole, all the oils etc are still be in there, :hmm: well the previous brews I've done and used hops like this have all turned out OK :
