Hop for Beer

Hops are an essential ingredient in homebrew beers, used as either for bittering or aroma.

We tend to sell hops that have been processed into pellet form. The hop pellets help to infuse their characteristics, flavours, bitterness and acids more efficiently that cone hops.

Traditional beers will have hops added to add a bitterness to the beer.  Craft beers will have the hop pellets added post fermentation (dry hopping) to add extra aromas without the bitterness.  but many of the hops we sell can be used for both bittering and aroma.

We have a range of bitter and aroma hops varieties to buy, choose depending on what end result you want and what style of beer you are making.  Combine that with the multiple ways to add hoppy flavours to your beer and the potential recipes are endless.

Hops are also act as a preservative, so helps keep your beer fresher for longer.

We have tried to give you lots of information on each of the hops we sell to help you understand their aroma profile and what characteristics they can add to the finished beer. However, if you need any help choosing the right hop for the beer you are making, feel free to get in touch with us!
