Ukuguquguquka kwayo kusebenza kahle kuzo zonke izinhlobo ze-ales eziphaphathekile, ama-IPA, nezitayela ezixubile lapho kufunwa khona isithelo esinengqimba nenhlaka.

Amathiphu Okuphisa Okusebenzayo Nokuxazulula Izinkinga

Ukuze ulondoloze iphunga elimnandi le-Equinox hops, gwema amathumba amade. Sebenzisa izengezo ze-flameout, ama-whirlpool hops, neshejuli ye-dry-hop egxilile. Lokhu kusiza ukugcina amafutha aguquguqukayo. Ukuze uthole iphunga elimnandi, hlukanisa izengezo zamuva zibe izithako ezimbalwa. Hlela othintana nabo be-dry-hop izinsuku ezingu-3-7 ukuze uthole umlingiswa ophakeme.

Qaphela umthamo kanye nesikhathi sokuxhumana. Ukuthintana okude kwe-dry-hop kungethula amanothi emifino noma anotshani. Uma iqoqo lakho libonisa upelepele oluhlaza noma amathoni e-jalapeno, nciphisa isikhathi sokuxhumana noma wehlise isamba se-hop mass ngokuzayo. Lezi zeluleko zokuphisa i-Equinox zisiza ukugcina izithelo ezihlanzekile namanothi e-citrus.

Linganisa amanothi aluhlaza nokukhetha kwe-malt ne-hop. Ama-malt amnandi athambisa imiphetho yemifino. Bhanqa i-Equinox ne-citrus-forward hops njenge-Amarillo, i-Motueka, noma i-Galaxy ukuze uphakamise. Sebenzisa ama-hops ababayo angathathi hlangothi njengeQhawe ukuze uthole izengezo zangaphambi kwesikhathi ukuze ulawule ama-IBU ngenkathi ugcina iphunga ligqamile.

• Sebenzisa ama-hops ababayo angathathi hlangothi ukuze ungeze kuqala ukuvikela iphunga.
• Gcina i-Equinox eningi ukuze uthole i-whirlpool ne-dry-hop ukuze ugcine uwoyela.
• Hlukanisa i-dry-hop ibe izengezo eziningi ukuze uvimbele ukuba buthuntu noma ukukhishwa kwemifino.

Hlola ubusha lapho ama-flavour e-lean bay leaf, sage, noma pepper. Lawo manothi avame ukukhomba ama-hops asebekhulile. Thenga isivuno sakamuva kubahlinzeki abahlonishwayo, gcina ezikhwameni ezivalwe nge-vacuum ezingeni lokushisa eliphansi, bese uhlola kabusha iminyaka ye-hop ngaphambi kokuyisebenzisa. Uma kunesidingo, hlanganisa ama-hops amasha ukuze ufihle amanothi ahlobene neminyaka.

Ukuxazulula izinkinga ze-Equinox hops kuqala ngesikhathi kanye nokukhucululwa kwendle. Uma kuvela ama-haze noma ama-flavour anotshani, finyeza isikhathi se-dry-hop, nciphisa i-hop mass, kanye nokuphahlazeka okubandayo ngaphambi kokupakisha. Ukuhlunga noma ukucwenga kungasusa inkungu eqhubekayo ngaphandle kokukhipha iphunga.

Lawula intukuthelo ngokunembile. I-Equinox inama-alpha acid aphezulu, ngakho-ke bala ama-IBU bese ucabangela i-hop ebabayo engathathi hlangothi ukuze uthole izithasiselo zakuqala zamathumba. Lokhu kugcina iphrofayili ye-hop enephunga elimnandi ngenkathi iletha ukubaba okuzinzile.

Ukuze uthole ama-off-flavour e-Ekuanot, buyekeza umthombo we-hop, isitoreji, namasu okuxhumana. Gwema ukusetshenziswa ngokweqile kwezithako ezifika sekwephuzile nezisindayo ezikhipha i-chlorophyll noma izinhlanganisela zemifino. Uma ama-off-flavour ephikelela, yehlisa umthamo, shintsha ifomu le-hop lisuke eqabungeni lonke liye kuma-pellets, noma shintsha ingxenye yenkokhiso uthole izinhlobonhlobo ezihambisanayo.

Sebenzisa lezi zinyathelo ezingokoqobo ukuze uxazulule ama-hops e-Equinox futhi wenze ngcono izindlela zokupheka. Izinguquko ezincane esikhathini, umthamo, nokumatanisa kuveza izinzuzo ezinkulu ekucaceni kwephunga nokulinganisela kokunambitheka.

I-Case Studies kanye Nokuhlangenwe nakho Kwe-brewer

I-Brooklyn Brewery ibonise ama-Equinox hops ehlobo, igqamisa iphrofayili yayo ekhanyayo. Iqoqo lisebenzise izengezo zamuva ukuze kugcizelele okusawolintshi nezinambitheka zasezindaweni ezishisayo, nokugcina isisekelo semalt esihlanzekile. Le ndlela icashunwe ezifundweni eziningi ze-Equinox, ebonisa ukuguquguquka kwe-hop esikalini sokuhweba.

Abakhiqizi basekhaya bavame ukuqala ngamasampula angu-4 oz ukuze bahlole i-Equinox. Omunye oshisekayo wenze iseshini engu-4.4% ephaphathekile, esebenzisa i-Columbus ukuze amunyu futhi engeze amanani amaningi e-Equinox ku-whirlpool ne-hop eyomile. Iphunga lotshwala laligcwele uphayinaphu, obunotshani lapho usetshenziswa kakhulu.

Iresiphi edumile emphakathini ihlanganisa i-Maris Otter, imigqa emi-2, kanye ne-Carapils neshajile encane ebabayo eyimizuzu engama-60. Ukwengezwa okuphuzile kanye no-2 oz dry-hop izinsuku ezingu-3–5 kuqinisekise amanothi ezithelo ezisawolintshi angashintshi kanye nezithelo ezishisayo. Izifundo ze-Equinox ezivela ezithangamini zixwayisa ngamanothi emifino uma isikhathi sokuxhumana sidlula izinsuku ezinhlanu.

• Impumelelo yokuhlanganisa ihlanganisa i-Equinox ne-Amarillo ne-Motueka, ikhiqiza amawolintshi agqamile, isithelo sasezindaweni ezishisayo, nesinongo esifana ne-jalapeño.
• Ukumatanisa i-Equinox ne-Galaxy kuvame ukukhonjwa njengendlu yamandla eshisayo yama-IPA nama-alles aphaphatheka.
• Okuhlangenwe nakho okuningi kotshwala be-Equinox kugqamisa ukuzithiba ekungezeni okubabayo futhi kugxile kumahops aphuzile ukuze uthole iphunga.

Imibiko yasensimini iphakamisa ukuthi kusetshenziswe utshwala obusha be-Ekuanot ukuze uthole ama-aromatics amnandi. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, i-hop iguqukela ku-bay leaf, sage, kanye nopelepele. Lezi zinguquko zibhalwe ezifundweni ze-Equinox, ezinomthelela wokugcina kanye nezikhathi zeresiphi kubo bobabili abaphisi botshwala bezentengiselwano nabasekhaya.

Okuthathayo okusebenzayo okuvela emibikweni yasenkambu kugcizelela ukulinganisa amanani okwengezwa kwakamuva ngokucophelela nokuhlola ubude besikhathi esifushane se-dry-hop. Okuhlangenwe nakho kotshwala be-Equinox kuveza ukuthi ukulungiswa okuncane kokuthintana nesikhathi nozakwethu benhlanganisela kungashintsha kakhulu iphrofayili ye-flavour, isuke endaweni eshisayo iye kwesinongo ngamakhambi.

Ukucatshangelwa Kokulawula, Ukuqamba, Nophawu Lokuhweba

Abazalanisi nabahlinzeki ngokuvamile babhala i-hop efanayo ngaphansi kwamagama amaningi. Ikhodi yokuzalanisa yasekuqaleni i-HBC 366 yathengiswa njenge-Equinox futhi kamuva yavela ekuhwebeni njengokuqanjwa kwe-Ekuanot. Abakhiqizi botshwala kufanele baqaphele ukuthi womabili amagama angavela kumakhathalogi, amalebula, namanothi okunambitha.

Izindaba zezimpawu zokuhweba zithinta indlela amahops athengiswa ngayo. Uphawu lokuhweba lwe-Equinox kanye nophawu lokuhweba lwe-HBC 366 kulolonge indlela ama-nursery nabasabalalisi ababonisa ngayo uhlu lwamagama. Sesha abahlinzeki ngokuqamba kokubili kwe-Equinox ne-Ekuanot ukuze ugweme ukulahleka kwesitoko noma ukufakwa kuhlu kokungafundi kahle.

Ukunemba kwelebula kubalulekile ekuphuzweni nasekulawuleni ikhwalithi. Qinisekisa ukuthi ungubani, unyaka wokuvuna, kanye nefomu—i-pellet noma ikhoni ephelele—lapho u-oda. Buza abahlinzeki mayelana nokunikezwa kwelayisensi nokuthi ingabe iqoqo lakhiqizwa ngaphansi kwezivumelwano ezivela kubafuyi abafana neHop Breeding Company kanye nabasabalalisi abafana no-John I. Haas.

Amalungelo empahla yobuhlakani anomthelela ekutholakaleni nasekuqanjweni kwamagama. Abazalanisi banezimpawu zokuhweba kanye nemigomo yelayisensi engashintsha ukuthi yiliphi igama elivela ku-seedstock, izitshalo eziqinisekisiwe, noma ama-hops acutshunguliwe. Lokhu kungaholela ezinkingeni zokuqamba ama-hop lapho izincwadi ezindala zisebenzisa igama elilodwa futhi abahlinzeki bamanje basebenzisa elinye.

• Lapho uthola, cela izinombolo zenkatho nezitifiketi zobuqiniso.
• Gcina amarekhodi ama-invoyisi nokuxhumana nabahlinzeki ukuze uqinisekise umsuka.
• Amanothi okunambitha ayireferensi ephambanayo ngaphansi kokubili kophawu lwentengiso lwe-Equinox kanye nokuqamba kwe-Ekuanot ukuze kube nokuvumelana.

Izidingo zokulawula zokungenisa nokudayisa ama-hops zilandela imithetho ejwayelekile yezolimo kanye nemithetho yamasiko. Ayikho imikhawulo ekhethekile yalolu hlobo ngale kwezitifiketi zezempilo zezitshalo ezijwayelekile kanye nezimvume zokungenisa ezweni e-United States. Hlola izindinganiso zezolimo zendawo lapho uthenga kubahlinzeki bamazwe ngamazwe.

Emabhrendi nasezikhiqizweni ezincane zotshwala, ukulebula okucacile kunciphisa ukudideka kwabathengi. Faka ohlwini amagama womabili emakhasini edatha yobuchwepheshe uma kufaneleka, ukuze abasabalalisi, abathengisi, nabadidiyeli basekhaya baqonde isixhumanisi phakathi kophawu lokuhweba lwe-Equinox, ukuqanjwa kwe-Ekuanot, kanye nophawu lokuqala lwe-HBC 366.

Isiphetho

Isifinyezo se-Equinox hops: I-Equinox, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-HBC 366 noma i-Ekuanot, iyi-hop evela e-Washington. Inama-alpha acid aphezulu kanye nephrofayili enesibindi ye-tropical-citrus-resinous. Amafutha ayo aguquguqukayo asetshenziswa kangcono ekubiliseni sekwephuzile, kwi-whirlpool, nasekufakweni kwe-dry-hop. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukulondolozwa kwezimfanelo zayo ezinephunga elimnandi.
