With all these recipes we're putting up, are we all using hop pellets or are some using whole hops as well? it might avoid some confusion to specify which.
I either use pellets or plugs, and occasionally the 'teabag' style Hops. If I put up a recipe I'll specify which type I am refering too. You raise a good point blandy, I often wonder what type others are using when they mention them. Cheers

Pellets for me, I did by some teabags but I just tear them open for boiling.
The teabags are a cheap way of buying pellets if you don't want to spend 5-6 dollars on a 50g bag of hops that you might not like.

I think you'll find teabag hops, contain pellets. Half a dozen of one, six of the other.
As long as they are fresh, they are good. One thing to keep in mind, if you use actual hop cones, you need more of a quantity, to equal the same bitterness and aroma as pellets. But fresh hop cones are usually that much better.
