Brew Strong | Preserving Fresh Hops with Blue Lake Hops
from The Brewing Network Presents | Brew Strong · host Justin Crossley
Making a fresh hop, or wet hop, beer has always been on Mother Nature's timeline. The hops are ready when they are ready and you had better be ok with that. On today's show, the boys talk to Adrian from a company out of Michigan called Blue Lake Hops. These folks have developed a process for preserving fresh-off-the-bine whole cone hops without the standard degradation you might find in other preservation processes, creating a wider opportunity for craft brewers and homebrewers to experiment with the different flavor compounds available in whole cone fresh hops.
