ART'S BREWING SUPPLIES

Text Box: HOPS HOPS HOPS HOPS HOPS HOPS HOPS HOPS VACUUM PACKED(EXCEPT FOR OUNCES OF PELLETS) & FRESH FROZEN. OXIDATION IS THE HOPS WORST ENEMY. FREEZING SLOWS THIS PROCESS DOWN, BUT YOU CAN'T STOP IT. STORING HOPS IN AN AUTOMATIC DEFROST FREEZER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA(THE HEATING & AIR CIRCULATION ARE NOT GOOD). THEY ARE BEST STORED IN AIR TIGHT CONTAINERS & FROZEN. WE GO THROUGH OUR OUNCES QUICKLY ENOUGH THAT THEY REMAIN FRESH FOR YOU. I LOVE HOPS IT IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE BEER. IT IS NOT A GREAT BEER TO ME UNLESS IT HAS HOP FLAVOR & AROMA. SOME HOPS ARE SUBTLE IN THIS RESPECT SO I USE MORE OF THEM(3 AT THE END & 3 DRY). IF THE WAY I STORED THE HOPS HARMED THEM IN ANY WAY, I WOULD CHANGE MY PROCEDURES, BECAUSE I USE THEM REGULARLY(THE OUNCES). WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY IN OUR PACKAGING SO THEY COULD COST A LITTLE MORE, BUT THAT IS THE WAY IT HAS TO BE. HOP SUPPLIERS REFRIGERATE THEIR HOPS, WE FREEZE. THEN VACUUM PACK THEM TO KEEP THEM FRESH. UNLESS OTHER RETAIL STORES BUY THEIR HOPS AT THE START OF THE SEASON, VACUUM PACK THEM, AND FREEZE THEM, THEY CAN NOT HAVE FRESHER HOPS!! IF THEY PUT THEM IN AIR TIGHT BAGS WITH AIR IN THEM WHAT HAVE THEY ACCOMPLISHED(NOTHING). I TRIED PURGING WITH CO2, & NITROGEN AT FIRST BUT THE CORRECT WAY IS TO VACUUM PACK(REMOVE THE AIR), LIKE ALL THE BIG HOP SUPPLIERS DO! I LIKE PELLET HOPS FOR ME THEY ARE EASIER TO USE. PELLET HOPS WILL GIVE YOU ABOUT 15% MORE BITTERNESS THEN WHOLE LEAF(FLOWERS). PELLETS & PLUGS TEND TO KEEP AIR AWAY BETTER, BUT WITH OUR PACKAGING THEY ARE ALL FRESH!!!! HBU (HOMEBREW BITTERING UNITS) OR AAU ARE A MEASURE OF BITTERNESS. YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE BOILING TIME THE SAME. THE THICKNESS OF THE SOLUTION HAS TO REMAIN THE SAME ALSO(MORE MALT MEANS MORE WATER). IT IS A USEFUL TOOL, MAYBE NOT THE BEST BUT IT IS THE EASIEST. NUMBER OF OUNCES TIMES ALPHA %, DO NOT COUNT FINISHING HOPS. THEY WILL CONTRIBUTE A LITTLE TO THE BITTERNESS, BUT WHY TAKE THEM OUT IF YOU LIKE THEM. GO BACK TO THE START OF THE BOIL AND REDUCE THE HBU'S. IMP. MEANS THE HOPS CAME FROM EUROPE(IMPORTED). LEAF HOPS-ALL ARE VACUUM PACKED CHEESE CLOTH BOILING BAG $.50 each 3” STAINLESS STEEL HOP STEEPER $6.00

Text Box: HOP PLANTS (RHIZOMES) WE GET THEM IN THE EARLY SPRING. THEY NEED TO BE PLANTED THEN.
