Hops Selection
"Dear DeFalco's Customers,
We are finally beginning to emerge from worldwide hop crisis. We've been able to get more varieties than we initially thought we would be able to get. You should find these on the pellets, loose and plugs pages. We have even begun to offer hops in quantities other than 1 oz. Stay posted as we put more varieties on the site and in larger quantities. We appreciate your understanding and patience in these trying times. Hopefully, we will see some easing in both availability and pricing within the next year or so,"
ABOUT HOPS
--Hops come in three forms: Pellets, Loose Cones, and Compressed Plugs.
--Pellets are the easiest to use: simply add to boil, no straining required. Pellets also store better than loose and compressed plugs.
--Loose hops are the raw form and should be strained out of wort after boil.
--Plugs are simply a version of loose hops that have been compressed into a disc-like form to enhance their storage properties. They are also easy to measure, as all plugs are processed into 1/2 oz. size units. They, too, should be strained out
