Breeding Varieties Investigated in Great Detail – Part 2: Ongoing Brewing Tests
Interest in hop varieties with distinctive and unique aromas is increasing. In Part 1 of this series of articles, pre-screening brewing trials using the Stage-Gate process in assessment of new Hüll breeding varieties were examined. These trials were limited to dry hopping. Breeding strains showing good results in pre-screening were then tested in large-scale field trials. They were subsequently subjected to a more intense brewing process. Ongoing brewing trials with two breeding strains tested are described in Part 2.
