Hops |
|
Hops are an aromatic herb which give beer its characteristic bitternessflavor and
aromatic qualities. Hops also help protect the beer against spoilageaid clarification
and head retention and serve as a preservative. Our hops have been packaged in
heat sealed pouches and stored in the cold until shipping. For maximum freshness
keep hops in the freezer and out of light until used.Pelletized hops are mechanically
processed through a hammermill and extruded into the pellet. They are held together
with their own natural oils and contain no binding agents or additives. Pelletized hops
settle to the bottom of the kettle and/or fermentortherefore removal is not required.
So they are easy to use.We endeavor to maintain a wide variety of the finest hops.
