HOPS HOPS Hops add three important elements to your beer. Characteristic bitterness and aroma are probably the best known but hops also act as a preservative by killing fungus during the boil that would otherwise spoil the beer. Many different hops are used at various times during and after the boil depending on the recipe.
Some hops are better for bittering or aroma and some are good for both.
The descriptions and suggestions that follow are just that, suggestions. Feel free to experiment after you get some experience with a variety of hops. We are pleased to offer a wide selection of whole leaf hops. Vacuum packed for freshness, our hops are sure to satisfy all your brewing needs.
