The hop bill

In the order Cloudburst Brewing lists them: Kinda Wet Wet Hop IPA | 6.5% ABV | 60 IBU Yeah, so, another harvest, another curveball. We always try to get some early picked Amarillo from Virgil Gamache Farms, and on this particular day they wrapped up picking about and hour before we could make it to the farm…so, we just grabbed a shovel and headed to the kiln, where we scooped up a couple hundred pounds off the top layer and called it a ....

New to hop talk? What these words mean
Bitterness (alpha acid)
How much bite a hop gives when it's boiled. Under 5% is gentle, 13%+ is a bruiser. It's why a West Coast IPA snaps and a pilsner doesn't.
Aroma oil
The smelly part of the hop — where the citrus, pine and tropical fruit come from. More oil, more punch when it's added late or dry-hopped.
Myrcene, humulene…
The main oils. Lots of myrcene reads fruity and resinous; humulene and caryophyllene read woody, herbal, spicy.
Aroma / bittering / dual purpose
What brewers mostly use the hop for: smell, bite, or both.
Fresh (wet) hop
Hops straight from the field into the beer, same day, never dried. Only at harvest, late August into October.
Cryo, CGX, LupoMax, Incognito
The same hop, processed: concentrated powder or extract, for more aroma with less vegetal taste.
