I couldn't find Centennial leaf hops this year, so the Centennial is pellets, 2012 crop. The rest are all whole leaf. Since I had so many leaf hops, I just dumped the pellets in and hoped they didn't clog the SS braid. All was well, no clogging. Dropped my pump at the end and broke it. Lots of swearing. I ordered one of these to fix it: http://chuggerpumps.com/product.php?prodid=235
