GUINNESS GUIDE TO HOPS- “How Hops are Used” This will be the most technically dense post I promise. Yesterday we saw how hops come from the field, now we’ll see the myriad of ways they’re used in the brewhouse. A lot of terms you might hear brewers use or see on labels are explained here.

If you scroll through this timeline, you’lol see that WHEN the hops are used has a huge impact on what characteristics they impart to the finished beer.

Think of it like a stew: if you put bay leaf in the beginning of a stew that’s more likely to impart bitterness and body; but if you put rosemary or fresh thyme right before serving, you’re more likely to get the aroma from those herbs. The same is true with hops. Put in the beginning of the boil, they add bitterness and body that provide contrast and structure to the sweet malty liquid. Put near the end (flame out, whirlpool, or past the dotted line in cold side fermentation) and you’ll get all the aroma.

Hops come in many different forms, in the videos I showed yesterday you can see how “fresh hops” are made, in a fresh hop or wet hop beer - seasonally released right about now- those would be thrown directly into the kettle. Cones are kilned close to the hop fields. Most commonly those cones are compressed into pellets that are vacuum sealed and shipped all over the world.

But newer technologies are used to distill these hops down to their aromatic or bitterness extremes. More recently liquid nitrogen has been used to produce “Cryohops”… all of these technologies are changing constantly to help brewers produce beers with new interesting hop character.

GUINNESS GUIDE TO HOPS- Why hops?

For the next 12 or so days I’m deep diving into hops, with the goal being to ultimately answer questions like “why are hops a thing in beer?” And “why should I care about hops (esp if I don’t like hoppy beer)?”

I’ll go into where you find them in some posts next week but know they can grow between 35th & 55th parallel including USA (WA OR & ID) Germany, England, Czech Rep., Belgium.

The hop itself looks just like you see in this photos: small berry to arrowhead sized, leafy, bright green, and if you were to crack one open- intensely aromatic in a way you can’t quite compare to anything else.

(Upcoming topics: how hops are grown & harvested, how & why they’re used in the brewhouse, growing region effect on flavors)
