Ama-Hops e-Beer Brewing: Opal

Isithombe sestudiyo esinemininingwane samakhoni e-Opal hop aluhlaza anezindlala ze-lupulin esagolide kungemuva elihlanzekile le-minimalist. Ulwazi olwengeziwe

Emkhakheni wama-hops ekwenzeni ubhiya, i-Opal igqama njengenketho engokoqobo. Ingakwazi ukuphatha kokubili izengezo zeketela zakuqala nomsebenzi wephunga elimnandi, ngenxa yokubaba kwayo okuhlanzekile nezimbali, amanothi ababayo. Lokhu kuguquguquka kwenza i-Opal ilungele ama-lager, ama-pilsner, kanye nohlu lwe-craft ales.

Ukutholakala kwe-Opal kungashintshashintsha ngokuya onyakeni wokuvuna kanye nomphakeli. Abaphisi botshwala base-US bangathola i-Opal ngokusebenzisa abathengisi abakhethekile abafana ne-Hops Direct nabahlinzeki bamazwe ngamazwe abafana neNorthwest Hop Farms. Lapho uthenga i-Opal, izinto okufanele zicatshangelwe zifaka isivuno sesitshalo, intengo ngephawundi ngalinye, kanye nefomu elifiswayo—ikhoni yonke, i-pellet, noma i-extract.

Okuthathwayo Okubalulekile

• I-Opal iyi-dual-purpose hop yaseJalimane eyakhishwa ngo-2004 futhi yakhuliswa eHüll.
• Iphethe ikhodi yamazwe ngamazwe i-OPL futhi yehla ku-Hallertau Gold.
• Ukwenza i-Opal hops kufanelana nezindima ezibabayo nephunga elimnandi ezitayeleni eziningi zikabhiya.
• Abaphisi botshwala base-US bangathenga i-Opal kubahlinzeki abafana neHops Direct kanye neNorthwest Hop Farms.
• Ukutholakala kanye nentengo kuyehluka ngonyaka wokuvuna kanye nefomu le-hop (i-pellet, iphelele, i-extract).

Uhlolojikelele lwe-Opal hops kanye nemvelaphi yayo yaseJalimane

Ama-Opal hop anezimpande zawo eJalimane, abhalwe njenge-cultivar 87/24/56 enekhodi OPL. Lezi zinhlobonhlobo zavela emizamweni ehlosiwe yokuzalanisa. Umgomo wawuwukwakha i-hop ehlanzekile, enemisebenzi eminingi ehlangabezana nezidingo zabaphisi botshwala besimanje.

Njengenzalo ye-Hallertau Gold, u-Opal wazalelwa ukuze anikeze kokubili ukucaca kwephunga kanye nokusebenza okuthembekile kokuphisa. I-Hop Research Institute e-Hüll yenza ukuhlola okubanzi. Babehlose ukuqinisekisa ukuzinza kwezinhlobonhlobo ukuze zisetshenziswe kwezohwebo.

Ukukhishwa kwe-Opal emakethe ngo-2004 kwaphawula ingqopha-mlando ebalulekile. Ilandele imigomo esunguliwe yezinhlobo ze-hop zaseJalimane. Lezi zimiso zigxile ekumelaneni nezifo, isivuno esingaguquki, nesikhathi sokuvuna kusukela ngasekupheleni kuka-August kuya kuSepthemba.

EJalimane, i-Opal ivunwa kanye nezinye izinhlobo phakathi nenkathi evamile. Abahlinzeki bamazwe ngamazwe baletha i-Opal ezinkampanini zotshwala zase-US. Banikeza ama-cones omisiwe noma ama-pellets ngamafomethi okuhweba ajwayelekile.

Uhlu lozalo luka-Opal olubhaliwe kanye nesizinda socwaningo lwe-Hüll hop kugxilisa ukuzethemba kubaphisi botshwala. Uhlu lozalo lwayo olucacile kanye nesikhathi sonyaka esisebenzayo kwenza kube ukukhetha okuthembekile. Igqama njenge-hop yemvelaphi yaseJalimane enosizo lwesimanje.

Iphrofayili ye-Flavour nephunga le-Opal hops

Iphunga le-opal liyingxube ehlanzekile yezinongo nesawolintshi. Abakhiqizi baphawula ukunambitheka kukapelepele omncane ekuqaleni, okulandelwa ukuphakamisa okusawolintshi. Lokhu kugcina ubhiya ukhanya futhi uqabula.

Iphrofayili yokunambitheka kwe-Opal ibhalansisa izinto ezinoshukela nezinongo. Inikeza ubumnandi obucashile eduze komlingiswa we-peppery citrus. Lokhu kusebenza kahle ngezitayela eziqhutshwa imvubelo, kuthuthukisa ubunkimbinkimbi bazo.

Amanothi ezinzwa aveza izimbali nezimbali zangaphansi ngemuva. Lezi zici zengeza ukujula ngaphandle kokweqisa ama-malt noma ama-yeast nuances. Ama-hop ezimbali anezimbali ezibabayo anomthelela ekwenzeni ubhiya ube yinkimbinkimbi.

Ngamanani amancane, i-Opal yengeza unqenqema lwezinongo oluhlelekile kanye nesiphetho esicacile sewolintshi. Ilungele ubhiya kakolweni, ama-ales ase-Belgian, nama-lager athambile. Lapha, isekela amanye ama-flavour kabhiya ngaphandle kokubusa.

• Pepper phambili
• Hlanza i-citrus phakamisa phakathi nolwanga
• Ubumnandi obufiphele obunamathoni ezimbali namakhambi

Ngokuhlela iresiphi, cabanga i-Opal njenge-hybrid aroma hop. Izinga layo le-peppery citrus lihambisana ne-yeast esters. Lokhu kuvumela ama-hop we-herbal e-spicy ukuthi athuthukise uhlamvu lukabhiya lulonke.

Ukwakhiwa kwestudiyo kwamakhoni e-Opal hop anowolintshi, ulamula, isinamoni, nenkanyezi ye-anise ezungezwe intuthu enephunga elimnandi kungemuva elimpunga. Ulwazi olwengeziwe

Amanani amakhemikhali nawokwenza utshwala we-Opal hops

Ama-Opal hop akhombisa izinhlobonhlobo zama-alpha acid, asuka ku-5% kuya ku-14%, anesilinganiso esingu-9.5%. Lokhu kuhlukahluka kuvumela kokubili ukubaba okuqinile nokusetshenziswa kokwengeza sekwephuzile. Kubalulekile ukuthi ubheke ishidi lelotho ukuthola ama-Opal alpha acid anembe ukuze usethe ama-IBU ngokunembile.

I-Opal beta acids ngokuvamile isuka ku-3.5% iye ku-5.5%, isilinganiso esingu-4.5%. Isilinganiso se-alpha-to-beta siyahlukahluka, ngokuvamile cishe ngo-2:1. Lesi silinganiso sithinta impilo yeshalofu kanye nombono wokubaba ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Ingqikithi yamafutha ku-Opal hops ivamise ukuba phakathi kuka-0.8 no-1.3 mL nge-100 g, isilinganiso esingu-1.1 mL. Leli zinga likawoyela elimaphakathi lisekela kokubili iphunga kanye nezithako ezihlanzekile ze-late-hop, uma zihlanganiswa ne-malt nemvubelo efanele.

• I-co-humulone ivamise ukuhluka ukusuka ku-13% ukuya ku-34% wesamba se-alpha, isilinganiso esingaba ngu-23.5%.
• I-Myrcene ivamise ukuvela ku-20% -45% wengxenyana kawoyela, isilinganiso esiseduze nama-32.5%.
• I-Humulene ne-caryophyllene ngokuvamile ihluka cishe ku-30% -50% kanye no-8% -15%, ngokulandelanayo.

Ukwehluka konyaka wezitshalo kubonakala kwezinye ukuhlaziya. Isibonelo, ama-alpha acid asondele ku-13%–14% kanye ne-co-humulone ku-28%–34% ayaphawulwa. Lawa maqoqo anomunyu ogqame kakhudlwana. Abadayisi abafuna ukubaba okucacile kufanele bakhethe ama-alpha amaningi.

Ukwakhiwa kwamafutha e-Opal hops kuveza ibhalansi ye-spicy-citrus. I-Myrcene inikela ngezithelo ezisawolintshi namanothi anezithelo. I-Humulene ne-caryophyllene yengeza ukunambitheka kwe-herbal kanye ne-peppery. Amazinga amancane e-farnesene ethula amanothi aphezulu aluhlaza acashile. Le bhalansi yenza i-Opal ikwazi ukuguquguquka ukuze kubekwe iphunga.

Ukusetshenziswa okungokoqobo kwalawa magugu kubonakala. I-High-alpha Opal lots ilungele ukubaba okusebenzayo. Isamba sawoyela esimaphakathi kanye nephrofayili elinganiselayo kuvumela izithasiselo zakamuva ukwengeza izinongo namawolintshi ngaphandle kwe-yeast esters enamandla kakhulu. Hlala ulandelela i-hop chemistry Opal ezitifiketini ukuze uqondanise inkatho nemigomo yakho yeresiphi.

Ukusetshenziswa kwezinhloso ezimbili: izicelo ezibabayo nephunga

I-Opal igqama njenge-hop enezinjongo ezimbili, elungele imisebenzi ehlukahlukene yokwenza utshwala. Isetshenziselwa ukubaba emathumbani okuqala, ukwakha isisekelo esihlanzekile, esizinzile. Uhla lwayo lwe-alpha acid luqinisekisa ubumunyu obungashintshi, bulungele ama-lager, ama-ales, nobhiya abayingxube.

Uma yengezwe sekwephuzile, i-Opal iveza izinongo zayo, amawolintshi, nama-flavour-herbal flavour. Izengezo zegedlela eliphuzile noma i-whirlpool zisiza ukulondoloza lawa mafutha aguquguqukayo. I-Dry-hopping ithuthukisa umlingiswa we-citrus-spice, igwema ubukhali.

Ukuze uhlanganise, hlanganisa i-high-alpha Opal yokubaba nokungezwa okuncane kwakamuva kwephunga. Le ndlela igcina amanothi aphezulu agqamile ngenkathi iqinisa ubhiya. Ibhalansi ye-myrcene-to-humulene iyathandeka, isekela le ndlela.

Lapho wenza izindlela zokupheka, landela lezi zinyathelo:

• Amathumba angaphambi kwesikhathi: sebenzisa i-Opal bittering ukuze uzuze ama-IBU aqondiwe anomunyu ongapheli.
• I-Whirlpool/iketela eliphuzile: engeza okungeziwe kwe-hop sekwephuzile i-Opal ye-citrus nezinongo.
• I-Dry-hop: qeda ngama-Opal aroma hops ukuze uthole i-floral-herbal lift.

Amahops anezinjongo ezimbili njenge-Opal anikeza abaphisi botshwala ukuguquguquka. Lungisa isikhathi nezilinganiso ukuze zivumelane nemigomo yesitayela, kusukela kuma-pilsners ahlanzekile ukuya kuma-ales aphunga aphunga. Lokhu kuqinisekisa imiphumela engaguquki kuyo yonke imigilingwane yokuphisa.

Ukusondeza okuningiliziwe kwamakhoni e-Opal hop aluhlaza anezindlala ze-lupulin eziphuzi ngokuphaphathekile ngokumelene nengemuva eliluhlaza elifiphele kancane. Ulwazi olwengeziwe

Izitayela zikabhiya ezihambisana kahle ne-Opal hops

Izitayela zikabhiya we-Opal hop zaziwa ngokuqedwa kwazo okuhlanzekile, okuhlanzekile nokusikisela kwezinongo. Alungele amalager aseJalimane alula kanye nobhiya kakolweni. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amanothi abo e-citrus kanye nopelepele athuthukisa ukunambitheka kwe-malt ngaphandle kokuwahlula.

Okunye okukhethiwe okuphezulu kufaka phakathi i-Pilsner, i-Helles, i-Kölsch, ne-Lagers yendabuko. Ku-pilsner, i-Opal ifaneleka kakhulu ekuboniseni amanothi ezimbali namakhambi acashile. Igcina ubhiya ugqamile futhi uqabula.

• I-Hefeweizen nobhiya obunye kakolweni: I-Opal ye-hefeweizen yengeza isipayisi esivinjiwe esivumelana nobhanana nama-clove esters.
• I-Pilsner ne-Helles: umlingiswa we-hop ohlanzekile usekela umgogodla ohlanzekile we-malt.
• I-Kölsch kanye ne-Blonde Ale: i-lift ephunga elimnandi ngaphandle kokuqeda iphrofayili.

Izitayela zaseBelgium ezifana ne-Saison ne-Tripel nazo ziyazuza ku-Opal. Upelepele omnene kanye nobumnandi obuthambile buhambisana nezinhlobo zemvubelo ye-estery. Lokhu kwengeza inkimbinkimbi kuma-farmhouse ales kanye nama-ales aseBelgium.

I-Brown Ales nezinye izitayela ze-Amber ezilula zingasebenzisa i-Opal njengento yokulinganisa. Lapha, imifino ecashile ye-hop kanye namanothi e-spice ahambisana ne-malt ethosiwe. Benza kanjalo ngaphandle kokuthatha ubhiya.

Lapho wenza amarisiphu, cabangela ama-single-hop lagers noma obhiya bakakolweni abaya phambili ukuze ugqamise izici zika-Opal. Nge-Belgian eyinkimbinkimbi noma i-mix-fermentation ales, sebenzisa izithasiselo ezincane. Ngale ndlela, i-hop isekela ama-flavour aqhutshwa imvubelo ngaphandle kokuwasibekela.

I-Opal hops kukuphisa izikebhe zesimanje kanye nemibono yokupheka

I-Opal isiwumgogodla wokwenza utshwala besimanje, eyaziwa ngokuhlukahluka kwayo. Ihamba phambili kuzo zonke izigaba zokwengeza i-hop, kusukela ekubabayo kuye ekugxumeni okomile. Yethulwe ngo-2004, ilungele kokubili ama-lager endabuko kanye nama-ales agqamile.

Amaphrojekthi e-Single-hop ayindlela enhle yokuhlola izici ezihlukile ze-Opal. Iresiphi ye-Pilsner noma i-Helles izobonisa izithelo zayo ezisawolintshi ezihlanzekile nezinongo ezicashile. Lezi zindlela zokupheka zigqamisa ukuthi amafutha e-Opal angakhanya kanjani nge-low-gravity, i-malt elungiswe kahle.

I-Opal iphinde ibe yinhle kakhulu ngezitayela ezixubile, ithuthukisa amakha aqhutshwa imvubelo. Ukuyengeza sekwephuzile ku-Hefeweizen kungangeza i-peppery lift ngokumelene ne-clove ne-banana amanothi asuka imvubelo yesiJalimane. Kubhiya abaphefumulelwe base-Belgian, iresiphi ye-Opal saison yengeza ukujula kwe-herbal ne-peppery, ehambisana nama-saison yeast phenols.

I-Opal IPA iyindlela enhle yokulinganisa ukubaba okunenhlaka newolintshi ekhanyayo. Sebenzisa ukuphumula okufushane, okufudumele kwe-whirlpool ukuze uthwebule amafutha aguquguqukayo ngaphandle kokukhipha imifino. Amahops amasha anamafutha esewonke aphezulu azoba nomthelela omkhulu kulezi zengezo zamuva.

• I-Single-hop i-Pilsner: gqamisa amawolintshi, ubumuncu obulula.
• I-Hefeweizen ene-Opal engasekho: i-peppery lift vs. yeast esters.
• Iresiphi ye-Opal saison: ubunzima be-herbal kanye nesiphetho esomile.
• I-Brown Ale ene-Opal: izinongo ezicashile nokukhanya okuhlanzekile.

Ukuze uthole i-whirlpool nesengezo sekwephuzile, hlose u-160–180°F (71–82°C) bese ubamba imizuzu engu-10–30. Ngokugxuma okomile, sebenzisa amanani alandelanayo ukuze ulondoloze izinhlamvu ezithambile ze-malt ne-yeast.

Qala ngamaqoqo alula okuhlola ukuze ucule kahle amanani nesikhathi. Gada okuqukethwe kwamafutha kanye neminyaka ye-hop, ulungise njengoba kudingeka kuresiphi entsha ngayinye. Ama-tweaks amancane angaholela emiphumeleni engaguquki kuzo zonke izitayela ezahlukene zikabhiya.

Ukushintshanisa kanye nezinhlobo ze-hop ezifanayo ku-Opal

Uma i-Opal ingatholakali, abaphisi botshwala bavame ukuphendukela kwezinye izindlela zakudala. Ama-hops afana ne-East Kent Golding kanye ne-Styrian Golding avame ukutuswa. Banikeza izinongo ezithambile kanye nezinhlamvu ezimibalabala ezithambile, ezifanele izitayela eziningi zikabhiya.

I-Tettnanger ingenye indawo enhle ye-Opal, yengeza amawolintshi esitayela esihle namanothi e-herbal athambile. Inama-alpha acid aphansi kune-Opal, ngakho-ke kudingeka okwengeziwe ukuze ibaba. Ukulungiswa kuqinisekisa ibhalansi ebabayo nephunga elimnandi.

Uma siqhathanisa i-East Kent Golding ne-Opal, sibona umehluko kumafutha anephunga elimnandi nezinongo ezicashile. I-East Kent Golding inezimbali eziyindilinga namathoni anoju. I-Opal, ngakolunye uhlangothi, inezimbali eziphakeme ezisawolintshi ezinomphetho omuncu omuncu. I-Styrian Golding inikeza umgogodla we-herbal oqinile, olungele ama-ales wendabuko nama-saisons.

• Sebenzisa i-East Kent Golding ukuthola iphunga elithambile, elivamile lesiNgisi elifana nezinhlamvu zezimbali zika-Opal.
• Khetha i-Styrian Golding uma ufuna umhlabathi omncane, ubukhona be-herbal ngaphandle kwama-hops anamandla.
• Khetha i-Tettnanger ukuze ungeze amanothi e-citrus-herbal; ukwandisa isisindo ukunxephezela ama-alpha acid aphansi.

Lapho ushintsha, fanisa ukwakheka kukawoyela futhi ulungise izikhathi eziphakemeyo. Izengezo eziphuzile kanye nama-hops omile agqamisa amafutha anephunga elimnandi.

• Qhathanisa izilinganiso ze-myrcene, i-humulene, ne-caryophyllene ukuze ubikezele ibhalansi yokunambitheka.
• Linganisa izengezo ze-late-hop kanye ne-dry-hop ukuze uhambisane nokuqina kwethagethi.

Ukugcina amarekhodi ezibalo ze-Opal hop ezicaciswe kakhulu kanye nemiphumela yokunambitha kwakha ireferensi ethembekile. Lo mlando ucwengisa amarisiphu esikhathi esizayo, okuholela emiphumeleni ebikezelayo.

Amathiphu asebenzayo wokuphisa nokuxazulula izinkinga nge-Opal hops

Ama-Opal hop ahlukahlukene kukho konke ukungezwa kwe-hop. Lokhu kuvumelana nezimo kuvumela ukulinganisa okubabayo kanye nephunga. Kubalulekile ukuhlela izindlela zokupheka zokusebenzisa i-pellet noma i-cone yonke, njengoba kungekho okungathatha indawo ye-cryo noma i-lupulin powder.

Ukuze uthole umunyu ohlanzekile, bala ama-IBU anenani le-alpha acid (AA) yenkatho. I-alpha ye-Opal ingehla ngo-30–40% ngemva kwezinyanga eziyisithupha ku-20°C. Ngakho-ke, khulisa imithamo yamahops amadala.

• Ngokubaba kwamathumba angaphambi kwesikhathi, engeza i-Opal ngezinyathelo ezilinganisiwe bese uhlola kabusha ama-IBU aqondiwe ngamavelu angempela e-AA.
• Ukuze uthole iphunga elimnandi le-late-hop, gcina izinga lokushisa le-whirlpool liphansi ukuze ulondoloze amawolintshi namanothi ezimbali.
• Nge-dry-hop, khetha i-Opal entsha emazingeni okushisa apholile kanye nesikhathi sokuxhumana esifushane ukuze ugweme ukukhishwa kwemifino.

Uma ubhiya ukhombisa upelepele oqinile noma ukunambitheka okuluhlaza, nciphisa inani lezinto ezisanda kungezwa. Ukunciphisa isikhathi samathumba sokwengezwa kwezinkinga kuvame ukushelela amanothi anokhahlo.

Iwolintshi ethulisiwe noma iphunga elibuthakathaka ngokuvamile lisho ukulimala kokushisa noma isitoko esidala. Sebenzisa ama-hops amasha ukuze ungeze sekwephuzile noma i-dry-hop futhi ucabange ukwehlisa izinga lokushisa le-whirlpool ukuze uvikele ukuguquguquka.

• Ukuze uthole ama-ales ahamba phambili ngephunga, gcina i-Opal sekwephuzile noma izengezo ze-whirlpool ziphephile.
• Hlanganisa i-Opal nama-hops ahloniphekile noma aqhakazile njenge-Hallertauer noma i-Saaz ukuze wenze imiphetho enopelepele oyindilinga futhi ugcizelele ibhalansi.
• Uma i-alpha ihlukahluka ngenqwaba, hlala ubala kabusha ama-IBU usebenzisa inkatho ethile ye-AA esikhundleni sokuthembela kuma-avareji ekhathalogi.

Uma ukala amaresiphi, sebenzisa lawa macebiso e-Opal hop. Izinguquko ezincane ngesikhathi kanye nethamo zingashintsha upelepele, i-citrus, noma i-vegetal expression. Hlola ekuhlolweni kwenqwaba eyodwa ngaphambi kokuzibophezela ekugijimeni okukhulu.

Ukuze uthole amaphutha avamile, landela lolu hlu lokuhlola lokuxazulula inkinga lwe-Opal hop: qinisekisa i-AA eningi, nciphisa ubuningi bamathumba uma uvela upelepele, amazinga okushisa aphansi e-whirlpool ukuze uthole iphunga elimnandi, futhi ukhetha ama-hops amasha ngokugxuma okomile.

Ukubona kwabathengi namanothi okunambitha obhiya agxume nge-Opal

Abaphuzayo bavame ukubika unqenqema lwezinongo lapho bethatha amasampula obhiya be-Opal hop. Amathoni e-Peppery nama-herbal ahlala eduze kwe-citrus epholile, okwenza iphunga ne-flavour kube lula ukukukhetha endizeni.

Amanothi okunambitha kwe-Opal ngokuvamile ahlanganisa ikhasi le-citrus, i-anise elula, izinkomba zezimbali, kanye nobumnandi obuncane bezithelo. Lezi zakhi zihlangana zibe iphrofayela ezwakala ikhanya ngaphandle kohlamvu lwe-malt oluningi noma imvubelo.

Kuma-lager athambile njenge-pilsner ne-kölsch, umbono wabathengi i-Opal uvame ukuthandeka. Izinongo ezihlanzekile nezithelo ezisawolintshi ezicashile ziphakamisa ukuphuzeka kukabhiya futhi kugqamise izitayela zesiJalimane.

Uma usetshenziswa kobhiya bakakolweni njenge-hefeweizen, obhiya be-Opal hop baletha isinongo sezimbali esivinjelwe esisebenzisana kahle nobhanana nama-clove esters avela kumvubelo. Umphumela ufundwa njengezendlalelo kunokuba umatasa.

Izithameli zikabhiya wezandla ziyakuthokozela ukuguquguquka kwe-Opal. Abadayisi bangancika kumgogodla wabo obabayo noma bagqamise izici zayo ezinephunga elimnandi ekwengezweni kwakamuva noma ukweqa okomile ukuze balolonge umgomo othile wezinzwa.

Amanothi okunambitha ajwayelekile asiza umhlahlandlela wokumatanisa nokuphaka iziphakamiso. I-citrus elula kanye nopelepele omnene kusebenza kahle ngoshizi othambile, ukudla kwasolwandle okugazingiwe, nezitsha ezidluliswa ngamakhambi.

• Izincazelo eziyinhloko: izinongo, i-citrus, izimbali
• Amanothi asekelayo: ubumnandi obufana ne-anise, isithelo esilula
• Izitayela ezihamba phambili: pilsner, kölsch, hefeweizen, lighter ales

Sekukonke, umbono wabathengi i-Opal igxile kumlingiswa we-spice-citrus ongenekayo. Leyo bhalansi yenza i-Opal ibe yinketho esebenzayo yabaphisi botshwala abahlose ukucaciseleka nokuphuzwayo.

Isiphetho

I-Opal, i-hop ezalelwe eJalimane, inikeza inhlanganisela eyingqayizivele yezinongo ezibabayo, ezinoshukela, nezihlanzekile ezisawolintshi. Iphinde inikeze amandla okubabayo anokwethenjelwa. Eyethulwe ngo-2004, i-Opal ihlanganisa okuqukethwe kukawoyela okumaphakathi nobubanzi be-alpha obuguquguqukayo. Lokhu kwenza kube semqoka ukuhlola izibalo ezithile ze-alpha namafutha ngaphambi kokwenza utshwala ukuze uthole imiphumela engaguquki.

Ukuguquguquka kwe-Opal kukhanya kuzo zombili izitayela zaseJalimane nezaseBelgium, kanye nobhiya bezikebhe besimanje. Lesi sifinyezo sigcizelela indima yaso njengokukhetha okuguquguqukayo kwabaphisi botshwala.

Kwabaphisi botshwala, ukusebenzisa i-Opal hops kudinga ukulinganisa iphunga layo nezinto ezifakwa ngesikhathi. Kubalulekile futhi ukucabangela ukuhlukahluka kwe-alpha lapho ubala ukumunyu. Ukuze ulondoloze i-alpha namafutha, gcina ama-hops ebanda futhi usebenzise amaqabunga amasha noma ama-pellets. Uma i-Opal ingatholakali, i-East Kent Goldings, i-Styrian Golding, noma i-Tettnanger ingasebenza njengezinye ezifanelekayo, inikeze amanothi ezimbali nezinongo.

Kafushane, ama-Opal hop aletha ukuguquguquka kanye nephrofayela ehlukile ye-spice-citrus etafuleni. Benza kahle njengawo womabili ama-hops ababayo kanye nama-aromas accents. Ngokuhlola inkatho efanele, isitoreji, kanye nezitayela zikabhiya ezifanayo, i-Opal ingathuthukisa iresiphi ngaphandle kokudinga ukuphatha okungavamile noma amasu ayinkimbinkimbi.
