hist-brewing: question re:hops

[ZYMONAUT at aol.com]

Hello... I have grown some hops in my yard...[first timer]. My question is 
this... should I use the buds green or brown? I had to harvest because of frost 
and I have kept them separate....the "brown" ones smell great and also have 
loads of lupulin dust on them.If this is not a valid question for this forum 
please excuse me....normally I just lurk...........
