A "tea" made with fresh hops and nearly finished wort. |
Here are the steps to making a hop aroma tea:
- Normally you would make 2 qts. of wort, SG 1.005 - 1.015 for a 5 gallon batch. In my case, I tapped boiling wort directly from the brew kettle with 10 minutes left in the boil. I ran the wort into a sanitized French press coffee maker filled with fresh hops.
- Normally you would let the hops steep, then press and let cool before adding to a beer in secondary fermentation. In my case, I let the cones steep the remaining 10 minutes of the main boil, then pressed and poured into the brew kettle at flameout.
