Green Hops
Planning a fresh hop harvest beer?
Fresh hops straight from the bine during the harvest period
What are they?
Only available during the harvest period as they are picked from the bine and used, ideally, within 24hrs. The freshest hops allow brewers to craft beers that give completely different characteristics, flavours and aromas.
Cones at harvest have moisture of nearly 80% before they are dried down to below 10% for packing.
How to brew with Green Hops?
Increase the addition rate by five to eight times more than your usual amount for optimal results. Use them only at the end of the boil or in a conditioning tank for aroma.
For the best quality, use them within 24 hours of picking. Since alpha analysis isn’t available this early, add your usual bittering hops at the start of the boil.
How do I get Green Hops?
We will be able to provide fresh hops picked and dispatched on the same day.
We cannot guarantee varieties as Mother Nature dictates the picking schedule. Harvest typically runs from late August through September. Please contact us AT LEAST a week before your scheduled brew day.
