Riwaka Fresh Hop Hazy IPA

For this beer we chose to showcase another iconic New Zealand Hop by using fresh Riwaka hops in a Hazy IPA using the dip hopped brewing method. Dip hopping differs from traditional hopping techniques whereby the fresh hops and hot water are added to a separate fermenter and left to steep to produce a hoppy tea like solution, that is then added to the fermenter with the wort prior to the traditional fermentation process. The benefit of using this technique is it accentuates the flavours and aromas contributed by the hops without adding astringency or harsh bitterness. Show Less
