Description

This lecture briefly describes the different types and forms of hops and how they are produced. As well, mostly important for the brewers, the actual utilization rate of those different types of hops is addressed. It is important because the hops that you have so carefully selected must be preserved in order to achieve the highest bitterness, and desired aromatic contribution.


Learning Objectives

  • Describe the different types or forms of hops currently available to the brewers
  • Explain how they are being processed or produced
  • Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each group
  • Discuss the percentage of utilization of each group
