Wet hop cones
Wet hop cones
While most of the hops are picked and dried and preserved, some hops are spared from the drying kiln and send directly to brewers within 24-48 hours. These hops are referred to as “wet hops”. Whole fresh hop cones provide more grassy and juicy aroma and flavour to the beer by retaining precious lupolin oils from the hop flower. Available only at harvest time!

Out of picking machine to kiln dried and packed into RB60 bags or small 5 kg Aluminium Nitrogen flushed foils bags. Most will use them for the dry hop with, but some are use them through the whole process. Better overall flavour.
T90 hops pellets

Pellet hops are just grinded-pulverized whole leaf hops and then blended to insure consistency and uniformity of the hops pellets. Hops powder is then pelletized in a pellet mill and after that packed into 5 kg Aluminium Nitrogen flushed bags.
How we do it
Wet hop cones
Fresh Hops are harvested as whole, wet cones and are delivered to breweries in less than 36 hours. Untouched by any aspect of the production process, they allow brewers to experience the quality of our hops straight from the bine. The entire process is full of logistical challenges, but all agree, the taste of the resulting fresh hop ales is worth it.
Cone hops
T90 hops pellets
Hop pellets retain all of their natural lupulin and cone material. Pellet compression is fine-tuned to achieve a consistent density for repeatable brewing, batch after batch. T-90 hop pellets are primarily used in kettle additions to provide bitterness and hop character to beer, or in post-fermentation dry hopping applications to provide aroma and flavor.
