Low Carbon Hops

Low Carbon Hops are exclusive to Brook House Hops and are the first hop products available that have been specially preserved without the need for kiln drying. This innovative new process results in 10x less CO2 emissions when compared to standard diesel-fired kiln-dried hops.

Low Carbon Hops

Low Carbon Hops are a completely new type of hop product, developed to help brewers create delicious beers that are packed with flavour and aroma, but with a fraction of the carbon footprint.

They naturally contain a higher level of moisture than kiln-dried hops so weigh heavier and will not dissolve like a T90 pellet. The weight difference vs kiln-dried hops means brewers may need to add more Low Carbon Hops to achieve the equivalent alpha acidity levels.  

Lab tests indicate that the individual hop aroma and flavour profiles are unaffected by the new preservation process, although usage rates may vary depending on the desired hopping level.
