Hops Pellets & Flowers

Hops do three jobs, and when you add them decides which one you get. Early in the boil they give bitterness. Late additions give flavour. Dry hopping in the fermenter gives aroma and no bitterness at all. Same pellet, very different beer.

What we stock sorts roughly by where it comes from. The Australians are Galaxy and Vic Secret. From New Zealand, Motueka and Nelson Sauvin. The American ones do the heavy lifting in pale ales and IPAs, so that is Citra, Mosaic, Amarillo, El Dorado, Cascade and Lemon Drop. For English and European styles there is Fuggles, East Kent Goldings imported from the UK, and Saaz for pilsners. Morgans finishing hops in Citra come in a smaller pack if you only want a late addition and do not want to open a bigger bag.

Something worth doing. Keep hops cold and sealed. Oxygen and warmth strip aroma faster than most people expect, so once a bag is open, push the air out, reseal it and put it in the freezer. If a bag smells like cheese or hay rather than fruit and pine, it has been sitting somewhere warm for too long.

Ask us at Laverton North or Epping if you are not sure what to substitute for what. More in brewing ingredients, brewing yeast and malt and grains.
