FARAMANIA®
Faramania® is a competition specifically for homebrewers helping to create hop history,
as homebrewers can trial experimental hop varieties.
FEATURES
- The homebrewers are able to trial Charles Faram experimental hop varieties where only a handful of hop cones are yet in existence.
- This quantity is way too small to send to commercial brewers for trial, so this process enables us to fast-track brand-new varieties through the Charles Faram Hop Development Program.
- Awards are presented to the winning brewers after the judging sessions.
- Faram’s will take the judge’s comments and score back to base to analyse and determine which hops to continue within the programme.
