pellets vs. Whole leaf

IF the whole hops a re very fresh, they'll have more aroma. The problem is that they degrade faster than pellets, so you have to know what you've got. I live in the midst of a large hop growing region, and for local varieties, I prefer whole. For continental hops, I'll go with pellets.

they are pre packaged vacume packed leaf hops in a stearl (at least i assume)sealed pack. they are "crosby and baker"

i didnt pick them or anything. i had the choice of the dried pellitized or the leaf so i got the leaf thinking they were better. they cost only about 70 cents more.i got cascade 6.0% alpha
