Hop Characteristics
Hops are harvested cone shaped flowers of hop vines. These cones contain lupulin glands, which are responsible for bitterness and aroma qualities. Bittering hops usually have a high alpha acid. The bitterness qualities that hops add are from the alpha acids in the lupulins. When boiled, a reaction occurs that creates bitterness and adds a natural preservative to the beer. First noted when India Pale Ale was sent from England to their troupes in India. These ales were strongly bittered so it would remain fresh when it arrived by ship. Aroma hops are noted for their lower alpha acid contents and their fragrance. When added towards the end of the boiling process, these hops produce different levels of hoppy, piney, woody and fruity aromas.
Whole Flower Hops are similar to plugs in their use. Hop Flowers are noted for their hop bouquet and are often used in special recipes. All hops are kept refrigerated until the time they are shipped to guarantee maximum freshness.

Buy Our Hops
Hops are whole dried leaf. All hops sold by Jordan Family Farms come in foil bags that provide both oxygen and light barrier for up to one year or more. To assure freshness we have flushed the bag with nitrogen to help displace any residual oxygen that may be present. All hops are kept refrigerated from the day they are dried until the time they are shipped to guarantee maximum freshness.
