Hop pickers on stilts-Life was tough in them days!

Hops-

Lets go to the Hop!

We have lots of hops in stock. Hops add bitterness and flavour to your homebrew beer

If you want to add some to a beer kit to increase the bitterness and flavour

We'd suggest you add about 25g or a quarter of a packet. Goldings are good for this use.

Just make a hop tea with about a pint of boiling water and add the water only. Throw the hops away, add to the bucket about two days before bottling

For making boiled and mashed beers follow your instructions and recipes! It's usually about 100g hops for 40 pints of beer but it can vary a lot!

Hops -
Gold Foil Packed 4oz-113 gram
Silver Foil Packs 100g
As a general guide the more expensive hops are in the silver foil and you get a bit less!

All our hops are vacuum packed in foil at the hopyard . This keeps them in the best condition possible. They still retain the full aroma and taste they had when packed. These are used for home brew and in micro brewery beers.

Alpha Acid Content varies with batch, please ask if you want to know the Alpha Acid for the current batch. The alpha acid quoted is for a typical batch..Most of our hops were grown in the UK.

Hop Extract 28 Ml Isomerised -Just add to beer

Isomersied hop extract, in a small plastic bottle.

There's enough for total hop replacement of 2 x 5 gall batches.

Useful for adjusting final bitterness as it doesn't require boiling

About a teaspoon adds a nice extra bitterness to a kit beer!

You need to experiment a bit, !

It 's the same stuff that used to come in a small bottle from VIna
