Quality hops for homebrewing
Hops are one of the four essential ingredients in beer and play an important role in determining the bitterness, flavour and aroma of the finished brew. With hundreds of varieties available, choosing the right hop can completely change the character of your beer.
From classic European varieties to modern American and New World hops, our range gives homebrewers plenty of options for developing new recipes and experimenting with different brewing styles.
Hops for bitterness, flavour and aroma
Hops can be added at different stages of the brewing process to achieve different results.
Bittering hops are generally added earlier in the boil to provide the bitterness needed to balance the sweetness of the malt.
Flavour hops are added later in the boil to retain more of their essential oils and contribute additional hop character.
Aroma hops are commonly used towards the end of the boil, during whirlpool additions or as dry hops to maximise fresh hop aromas.

Citrus
