pellets vs. Whole leaf

is their one that is better between the two? is one better for end of boil? what can anyone tell me?


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"
