Summary: | Large scale trials were carried out to test brewing value of new hop varieties "Aroma" and "Robusta". On the basis of chemical analysis of hop, a dose of 7 alfa-acids was added per hectolitre. Wort bitterness was over 40 and beer bitterness over 30 degrees EBS, which represents hop utilization of almost 50%. This indicates that considerable savings can be made in hop rate, i.e. in alfa-acid quantity. Sensory assessment showed that beers produced of new varieties, even when smaller quantities of hop were used, did not differ in quality from standard beers. Brewing industry can produce top quality beer by using new hop varieties. |
