So how should we protect our hops once we have them home? There are two major hop destroying entities light and oxygen. The difference between the two types of pellets is that with the T version you get he same alpha acid numbers with less over all material in the kettle at the end of the day.īecause hop pellets have small relative surface area in relation to leaf and plug hops, pellets have a lower oxygen exposure per surface area than the other forms, which means a drop in degradation over time. T pellets can also be used a full replacement for hop cones. Once through the mill some of the vegetative matter is removed and the remaining material is then pressed through a die to make the familiar pellet shape. T pellets follow a similar process except that when they are milled it is with the addition of heat to make the lupulin less sticky. They retain all of the vegetative matter that came in the hop cones and can be used as a full replacement for cone hops. T Pellets are milled into a powder and then squeezed through a die. Pellets come in two forms: T and T formats which are determined by the way they are processed. As a quick review let us look at the other two styles. Because it is on the Kettle to Keg website, we felt that it should be explained to better aid our customers in selecting their hops and for our advanced brewers who are trying to dial in their process.
