Brewing Considerations
Summit hops are prized for their ability to provide a pronounced bitterness while enhancing the beer’s overall flavor profile. Due to their high alpha acid content, they are particularly effective in achieving desired bitterness levels without requiring excessive amounts of hops. For best results, consider using them in the late hop additions or dry hopping to fully showcase their aromatic qualities.
Whether you're crafting a hoppy IPA or a balanced pale ale, Summit hops can elevate your brewing experience with their distinctive characteristics.
