Free Magnum whole hops

[Herms bay]

I bought 300g of magnum whole hops by mistake. Anyone want it as its not for me. Free.

I'll take 'em.

You know they make an excellent bittering hop as you only need 10g or so for each brew.

I use them all the time, but never for flavouring or aroma.

Yes I use them for lager bittering but prefer pellets as I whirlpool. Not had great joy with whole hops in socks etc. I have 70l kettle so plenty of area to whirlpool

Ok. Each to their own.
I don't like pellets, the sludge cloggs everything up & is so fine it gets through my hop bags.
So I went back to leaf hops, no hop bags & leaving the false bottom in my boiler for the boil.

I get a nice cone in the boil kettle after whirlpool which slightly collapses at the end leaving 0.5l of wort in the kettle from 56.5l. There is nothing to clog up. Thats why i moved to HERMS setup as the Robobrew was a nightmare sometimes.
