The annual hop harvest of Australia has finished up for another year. This is a very exciting time for beer brewers and beer drinkers alike as each gets to enjoy in the spoils of super fresh “Wet” hops utilised in brand-new delicious beers.
But what are ‘Wet’ hops you might ask? And what is their purpose in beer? Well put simply Wet hops are essentially hops picked straight from the bine, unprocessed, and not dried out. And used as soon as possible in the brewhouse to make a delicious Wet hop beer.
The purpose of these Wet hops is that they are picked fresh and used in the brewhouse urgently to capture as much of their volatile aromatic and flavour characteristics – that can often get lost in processing.
