Dried herbs are stronger in flavor than fresh leaf herbs. When adding dried leaf herbs to a recipe that calls for fresh ones, substitute 1/3 the amount called for in the recipe.

Whole herb leaves are a better choice than ground or powdered herbs because they hold their flavor longer in storage; pulverize just before using. See similar questions...

How much do I use? A: Yes, you can but at best it is a rough guess as to how much. The rule of thumb is to use 6 times as much (by weight) as you would dry hops. A safer rule would be to do this and to only use them for finish/dry hopping. This is because the AA% is unknown, and later additions are less sensitive to AA%. It should be noted that homebrewers have had mixed results when using fresh hops (poor AA approximation for bittering, grassy aroma for finishing). See similar questions...
