In the order Cloudburst Brewing lists them: Way Across The Sea IPA IPA | 6.7% ABV | 52 IBU Hey New Zealand, we have one question for you: Why are you so far away from me? We need help, and you’re way across the sea. What help do we need, exactly? Um, LOTS. Like, universal healthcare. And free and fair elections – none of this gerrymandering, vote in person in this time window at this random place on a fucking Tuesday bullshit. With bett...

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.
