11 Pelletized Hops

Hop flowers are ground up and extruded into pellets. We use hops for several things in beer. First there is the bitterness to balance the beer's flavor, the hop flavor itself, then the hop aroma (if not boiled too long). Hops also have an anti-bacterial effect and act as a preservative. Before hops were used many other herbs and spices were added to beer.
