Can’t tell your Hop Kief from your Hopzoil? Are words like Phantasm or Cryo on your beer can causing confusion? If so, don’t worry – you’re not alone.
Hops used to be simple. Not too long ago, this humble plant and its precious yellow lupulin predominantly came in three forms: the hoppy holy trinity of whole hop cones, dried cones and pellets. This situation did start to change in the 60s and 70s in the form of commodity bittering extracts for industrial brewers, but, while specific hop varietals increased towards the end of the 20 century, there was little change when it came to new hop products.
