Morgans Northern Brewer Finishing Hops - 12gm

Flavour & Aroma Profile
Northern Brewer (US) is a bittering hop that is commonly used to add bitterness to the beer during brewing, not for flavour and aroma.

US Northern Brewer hops have aroma descriptors that include evergreen, wood and mint. US Northern Brewer contains slightly higher alpha acids and high myrcene oil content than the German variety, resulting in a herbal, wood and peppery aroma. It is suitable for any stage of the brewing process.

How to Use (General Steeping Method):

Steep: Place the hop sachet in a cup of boiling water (about 1 cup).

Wait: Let it steep for 10 minutes to extract flavours and aromas.

Add: Pour the steeped liquid and the hop bag into your wort (unfermented beer) at the desired stage (late boil, whirlpool, or to the fermenter after peak fermentation). 

When to Add:

Late Boil/Whirlpool: For flavour and some aroma.

Fermenter (Dry Hopping): For maximum aroma, after fermentation slows.

Finishing hops are essential for brewers wanting to build complex aromas and flavours, making homebrews more professional and vibrant.
