100% do it. You won’t regret it. Just figure out if they are better as bittering hops or flavours hops first and pai with the other.

Suggestions on how to figure that out before brewing?
There in lies the difficult bit I think.
Maybe look around at what variety’s are native to you and then maybe have a search online for how they are different. Leaves will be different sizes/shapes possibly. Grab a couple of hops of the plant crush/rub them between your palms firmly to see how strong a scent they give off that will probably help the identification.
If they don’t have much scent maybe just use them in the main brew and finish with a dry hop of another variety. I did something similar with my hops plant a couple years ago, it was more the fact that I could say my hops were in it than that they made a massive difference to the brew (though I didn’t have much, it is a bit colder here).
If they are super strong in scent maybe dry hop with them. Also don’t forget to pick and dry them first.
