Optimum Drying of Flavour Hops
Varietal aromas | Brewing tests and beer tastings confirm the unique flavour of the Hüll Special Flavour hop varieties. When drying flavour hops, top priority has to be given to safeguarding and maintaining optimum aroma characteristics. As hop oils are lost as a result of vapour volatility and oxidation during drying, residence time in the hop kiln or on the belt dryer should not be unnecessarily prolonged as a result of incorrect setting of drying parameters, layer depth, drying temperature and air speed.
