Manufacturing of Raw Hops

The production of raw hops begins with the careful selection of hop plants and the harvesting of hop cones at the optimal time of maturity. The cones are then cleaned of coarse impurities through a sieving process and dried to a moisture content of about 8 to 10% to preserve the natural aromas and bitter substances. After drying, the cones are pressed into 5 kg rectangles and vacuum-sealed in aluminum composite foils – known as vacupacks – to maintain the original freshness and intensity of the hops.

Advantages of Raw Hops

Raw hops offer a variety of benefits for those seeking the highest quality and authenticity, which is difficult to achieve with other hop products. The use of raw hops allows brewers to fully exploit the potential of their beer. Due to its unadulterated nature, raw hops retain the natural aromas and bitter substances of the hops, giving the beer an authentic and complex flavor profile.

What Should I Consider with Raw Hops?

When purchasing raw hops, it is important to consider the variety, origin, and alpha acid content to ensure that the hops meet your expectations and your brewing style. Some varieties offer fruity aromas, while others exhibit strong bitterness. Therefore, pay attention to the alpha acid content of the raw hops, as it influences the degree of bitterness and can affect the final product. Additionally, check the storage condition of the raw hops to ensure they are fresh and of high quality. Proper storage in a cool, dry, and airtight container is crucial to maintain the freshness of the hops.
