Hops

Hops provide bitterness, flavour and aroma, with the result shaped by the variety, amount and timing. Browse local and imported options for all grain and extract recipes.

Choosing hops for your recipe

• Use early additions mainly for bitterness and later additions for more flavour and aroma.
• Explore New Zealand hops for varied local profiles.
• Browse imported hops when a recipe calls for an overseas variety.
• A muslin hops bag can make loose material easier to manage.

Alpha acid varies between crops, so check the packet and adjust bittering quantities when needed.
