Izinkinga ezivamile zifaka phakathi utshani noma imifino engaphandle kwama-note avela ekuqhumeni okunamandla ngokweqile noma ekuthinteni okushisayo, ukungezwani komoya okuvela ekufakweni okuphuzile ngokweqile, kanye nephunga elithulile elivela kuma-hops amadala noma agcinwe kabi. Xazulula inkinga ngokunciphisa isikhathi sokuxhumana nama-hops amadala, ukuthuthukisa ukulawulwa komoya-mpilo ohlangothini olubandayo, ukujikeleza isitokwe sama-hop amasha, kanye nokubala kabusha ama-addion usebenzisa i-lot COA.

Ngizibala kanjani i-IBUs ze-Challenger ezengeziwe?

Sebenzisa ivolumu yebhetshi elinganisiwe, amandla adonsela phansi okubilisa, isikhathi sokubilisa, kanye nephesenti eliqondile le-alpha-acid elivela ku-COA yomhlinzeki. Sebenzisa ifomula efana ne-Tinseth noma sebenzisa isofthiwe efana ne-BeerSmith noma i-Brewer's Friend. Isibonelo, nge-7% AA kanye nokwengezwa kwemizuzu engama-60, faka lawo manani ukuze unqume ama-ounces adingekayo ukuze ufinyelele ama-IBU akho aqondiwe.

Yimiphi imikhuba yokuhlola imizwa esiza ekutholeni izindlela zokupheka ezigxile ku-Challenger?

Yenza ukunambitha okugxile ezintweni zokuphuza ingilazi ezihlanzekile emazingeni okushisa alawulwayo (50–55°F kuma-ales). Hlola iphunga kuqala, bese kuba ukunambitheka, umuzwa womlomo, kanye nokuqeda. Bhala phansi izincazelo—ezinezimbali, ezibabayo, zomhlaba, iziphakamiso zezithelo, ukubaba, kanye nebhalansi. Gcina izingodo zokuphuza ezinemininingwane kufaka phakathi i-hop lot AA, ifomu, izikhathi zokwengeza, kanye nokulungisa ukuze kuphinde kusebenze kahle.

Abenzi bobhiya bezentengiselwano bayisebenzisa kanjani i-Challenger ngezinga elikhulu, futhi yini abangayifunda abenzi bobhiya basekhaya?

Abenzi bobhiya bezentengiselwano bahlola ama-COA ngeqembu ngalinye, bathenga ngobuningi ngesitoreji esifanele esibandayo, benze izindlela zokupheka zifane, futhi bavame ukuhlanganisa i-Challenger namanye ama-aromahop ukuze bavumelane. Abenzi bobhiya basekhaya bangafunda ukuqinisekisa ama-COA, bahlole amaqembu amancane ukuqinisekisa ukuziphatha kwe-hop, futhi basebenzise amasu okugcina amarekhodi nokuxuba ukuze bathole imiphumela ephindaphindwayo.

Ingabe i-Challenger iyi-hop ebizayo futhi kufanele ngiyithenge ngobuningi?

I-Challenger ngokuvamile intengo yayo iphakathi nendawo uma iqhathaniswa nezinhlobo ezikhethekile ze-New World. Abapheki bobhiya abathandwayo kufanele bathenge inani elihambisana nokusetshenziswa okulindelekile ukuze bagweme ukuguga. Uhlobo lwe-pellet lunikeza ukuzinza okungcono kokugcinwa isikhathi eside, kuyilapho ukuthenga ngobuningi kusiza abapheki bobhiya abavamile kanye nemisebenzi yezentengiselwano uma kutholakala indawo yokugcina ebandayo efanele.

Yiziphi izinkinga zokusimama eziphathelene nokuthola ama-hops e-Challenger?

Cabanga ngabaphakeli abasebenzisa ukulima okusebenzisa amanzi kahle, ukuphathwa kwezinambuzane okuhlanganisiwe, kanye nokufakwa kwamakhemikhali okuncishisiwe. Ukuthenga kubalimi noma kubasabalalisi base-US uma kutholakala kunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi kwezokuthutha. Buza abaphakeli ngemikhuba yokuzinza, izitifiketi, kanye nokulandelela lapho ukhetha imithombo ye-hop.

Ngingazivumelanisa kanjani izindlela zokupheka lapho i-alpha-acid kaChallenger ihlukahluka phakathi kweminyaka yokutshala?

Hlola njalo i-COA eqondene ne-lot bese ubala kabusha izengezo ze-hop ukuze uhlangabezane nama-IBU aqondiwe. Gcina izindlela zokupheka eziguquguqukayo kanye nama-log anemininingwane yamanani e-lot AA edlule ukuze uqondise ukukala kwesikhathi esizayo. Uma i-AA iphakeme noma iphansi kunalokho obekulindelwe, lungisa isisindo se-hop noma isikhathi kunokuthembela emithethweni ye-ounce-per-recipe eqondile.
