Isithombe: Ama-Perle Hops amasha kanye negedlela le-Brew

Kulo mfanekiso ovusa amadlingozi, ubuciko nesayensi yokuphuza utshwala kuhlangana endaweni egqamisa kokubili ubuhle bemvelo nobuhlakani bomuntu obuyiguqulayo. Ingaphambili ligcwele amakhoni e-Perle hop asanda kuvunwa, umbala wawo oluhlaza ogqamile nama-bract anengqimba eqinile adonsa ukunaka kombukeli. I-cone ngayinye ibonakala icishe ibe yisimo esiqoshiwe, inamagquma athambile kanye nemidwebo ebonakala icwebezela kancane ngaphansi kokukhanya okuthambile, kwemvelo. Amaqabunga ahambisana naso, amaqabunga aluhlaza abanzi anemithambo ecacile, enza ama-cones ngendlela ethuthukisa amandla awo ezinto eziphilayo. Umphumela ungowokusha nokuchichima, ukubungaza isivuno ngaleso sikhathi lapho ama-hops eseqophelweni eliphezulu elimnandi.

Ngemuva kwale ndawo eluhlaza okotshani, amajika ethusi eketela elivamile aphakama abonakale, afiphele kancane kodwa ayala ngokusobala. Kusukela phezulu, izinsimbi zesitimu zigoqeka phezulu, zibambe ukukhanya ngama-wisp athambile ahluke ngokujulile, amathoni anothile ensimbi. Igedlela likhipha amandla athule, indawo yalo epholishiwe iwubufakazi bokuqina kwalo kanye nendima yalo emakhulwini eminyaka okwenziwa kotshwala. Ukuhlangana kwama-hop aphilayo kanye neketela elishisayo kuxoxa indaba yoshintsho: izigaxa eziluhlaza, ezihlabayo maduze zizocwiliswa zibe wort abilayo, ama-resin awo namafutha akhishwe ukuze alolonge ukubaba, iphunga, kanye nephunga likabhiya.

Isimo sizolile kodwa sinenjongo, njengokungathi isithombe sithwebula ikhefu enqubweni yokuphisa, isikhathi sokucabanga lapho umenzi wotshwala ebonisa ibhalansi phakathi kwesithako semvelo nomkhiqizo owenziwe. Ama-Perle hop aziwa ngezimfanelo zawo ezihlukile—amnene kodwa ayinkimbinkimbi, anamanothi ezimbali agcizelelwa ubulawu obucashile kanye nokunyenyeza kwezinhlamvu zekhambi. Lezi zici zizenza zibe nezinto ezihlukahlukene, zifaneleke ngokulinganayo ama-lager, ama-ales aphuzi, nobhiya bendabuko baseJalimane. Ama-hop angaphambili abonakala ehlanganisa lezi zimfanelo ngokubukeka: aminyene kodwa ayaveza, anesizotha kodwa agcwele amandla. Ukukhanyisa kugcizelela lokhu okubili, kukhanyisa amakhoni ngokugqamisa okuthambile kuyilapho kuvumela izithunzi ukuthi zidale ukujula nemfihlakalo.

Kukhona futhi ubukhulu obuthintekayo obuphakanyiswe isithombe. Umuntu angacishe ezwe ukuthungwa kwephepha kwama-hop bracts, izindlala ze-lupulin ezinamathelayo zifihlwe ngaphakathi, zilungele ukuqhuma namafutha anephunga elimnandi lapho echotshoziwe. Umusi okhuphukayo ophuma eketelani uvusa ukufudumala nomswakama, okuyisikhumbuzo sezinzwa sendawo yokuphisa ngokwaso—umkhathi ogcwele iphunga elimnandi le-malt, amahops nemvubelo. Kunjengokungathi umoya ngokwawo udlikiza ngokulangazela, uqhubekisela phambili isiko lamakhulu eminyaka kuwo wonke amajika omhwamuko.

Ukwakheka kwesithombe kulinganisa ngokucophelela ukusondelana nesilinganiso. Ukugxila eduze kwama-hops kumema umbukeli ukuthi ajabulele ubuciko bawo bemvelo, kuyilapho ukuba khona kweketela ngemuva kubenza bangene ekulandiseni okubanzi kokwenza ubhiya. Umkhumbi wethusi, nakuba uthambile ekugxilweni kwawo, ukhipha kokubili ukushisa komzimba nokubaluleka okungokomfanekiso, usebenza njengomkhumbi lapho uguquko lwenzeka khona. Ubuso bayo, bube mnyama ezindaweni ngokusetshenziswa, bukhuluma ngohlu lwezinhlobo eziningi zotshwala, iqoqo ngalinye ukuqhubeka kwengxoxo endala phakathi kophisi nesithako.

Lokhu kusebenzisana kwezitshalo nomshini, kokusha kanye nenqubo, yempahla eluhlaza kanye nobuciko obuqediwe, kuhlanganisa ifilosofi yokuphisa ngobungcweti. Akukhona mayelana nokuxhamazela noma ukukhiqizwa ngobuningi kodwa mayelana nokuhlonipha isigaba ngasinye, kusukela ekulinyweni ngokucophelela kwama-hops kuya ekuhlanganiseni kwawo okunembile ekuphuzweni. Ama-Perle hop asesithombeni angaphezulu kwemikhiqizo yezolimo—awumphefumulo kabhiya ozayo, aphethe ibhalansi ethambile yezinhlanganisela ezibabayo namafutha anephunga elimnandi azochaza iphrofayili yokugcina yokunambitheka.

Ekugcineni, lesi sigameko sihambisana nomuzwa wokuphelela nokuqhubeka. Ama-hop, lapho esesha, asukuma alungele uhambo lwawo lokungena eketelani. Igedlela ngokwalo, eliphila ngesitimu, limelela isahluko esilandelayo salolo hambo. Ndawonye, akha i-arc elandisayo edlulela ngale kohlaka: ukusuka enkambini kuye eketela, ukusuka eketela kuye ku-fermenter, ukusuka emvubelo kuye engilazini. Lesi sikhathi esithulile kodwa esinamandla sikhumbuza isibukeli ukuthi ubhiya awusona nje isiphuzo kodwa isiphetho sochungechunge lokukhetha ngokucophelela, isigqi sesizini, kanye namasiko ahlala njalo, nama-Perle hop abolekisa ngezimbali zawo, isignesha ebabayo endabeni engapheli yokuphisa.
