Isithombe: I-Yakima Cluster Dry Hopping

Isithombe sithwebula isikhashana sokunemba kanye nokusondelana enqubweni yokuphisa, sigxile esithakweni esibalulekile esingakahlaza esichaza obhiya abaningi kangaka: i-hop cone. Kusabalele endaweni yokusebenzela kukhona indunduma yamahops e-Yakima Cluster asanda kuvunwa, amafomu awo ayindilinga agqitshwe ngamazenga acwebezela emithunzini yohlaza olugqamile. Izigaxa zihlangene kodwa zintekenteke, ama-bract awo agqagqene ahlelwe ngokuzungeza okuqinile aveza imibono ecashile ye-lupulin esagolide ebekwe ngaphakathi. I-lupulin, lolo thuli oluyigugu lwezinhlaka namafutha, luyabonakala lapho ikhoni eyodwa ihlukaniswa khona kancane, icwebezela ngemibala ethambile, inhlaka ethembisa amawolintshi, izinongo, namaphunga anukayo lapho ikhishwa ibe isiphuzo. I-hop ngayinye enqwabeni iwubufakazi befa lezolimo lase-Yakima Valley, elitshalwe ngaphansi kwelanga elizinzile futhi likhuliswe kuze kube sekuvuthweni ngaphambi kokuba livunwe isikhashana nje.

Ukugxila okumaphakathi kwesithombe kusesandleni somshini wokuphisa utshwala, emile ngokunakekela nangokucabanga njengoba ekhetha ikhoni eyodwa enqwabeni. Lesi senzo singesenhlonipho nobuciko, sigcizelela ubudlelwano obuseduze phakathi kwekhono lomuntu nokunensa kwemvelo. Isandla siphethe i-hop kancane, njengokungathi sikhumbula ubuthakathaka bayo, kodwa ngokuqiniseka komuntu ojwayelene ngokujulile nenqubo. Le bhalansi yobubiliboco nesiqiniseko ibukisa ubuciko bokwenza utshwala ngokwako, lapho isayensi nengqondo isebenza ngokuhambisana ukuze kwakhiwe amabhiya ayinkimbinkimbi nesimilo. Umkhumbi wensimbi engagqwali ovulekile eduze kwesandla ulinda ukuthola amahophu akhethiwe, indawo yawo epholile ebonisa ukukhanya okufiphele ngaphansi kokukhanya okuthambile, okuhlukanisiwe. Isivalo esivulekile siphakamisa ukushesha, ukulungela ukwengeza lawa ma-cones amasha enqubweni yokuphisa, okungenzeka kakhulu ukugxumagxuma okomile—isiteji esinikeza izimfanelo ezinesibindi, ezinuka kamnandi ngaphandle kokwengeza umunyu.

Maphakathi nenhlabathi, ukubenyezela okungaphansi komkhumbi kuphambene nokuthungwa kwemvelo kwama-hops, okuqinisa ingxoxo phakathi kwesiko nesimanjemanje, imvelo kanye nobuchwepheshe. Isiqukathi sensimbi, sihlanzekile futhi sisebenza kahle, sima njengethuluzi lokunemba, siqinisekisa ukuthi ukungezwa kwe-hop ngakunye kuyalinganiswa, kunqunyelwe isikhathi, futhi kunenjongo. Ingemuva elifiphaziwe liqeda ukuphazamiseka, linciphisa ukugxila kombukeli kuma-hop ngokwawo kanye nesenzo sokukhetha. Lokhu kukhethwa kwenhlanganisela kugcizelela ukusondelana kwalesi sikhathi, kucishe kumeme umbukeli ukuba acabange ukuqhuma kwephunga okwenzeka lapho umenzi wotshwala echoboza kancane ikhoni phakathi kweminwe yakhe—ukukhululwa kukaphayini, okusawolintshi, nezwi elingaphansi komhlaba eligcwalisa umoya. Kunjengokungathi isithombe asithathi nje lokho okubonwayo, kodwa nalokho okunukayo nokuzwakalayo ekamelweni.

Ukukhanya kuyo yonke indawo kuthambile futhi kufudumele, kuveza ukugqama okuthambile kuwo wonke ama-hops kanye nesandla somshini wokuphisa utshwala kuyilapho kushiya izithunzi ezijulile ukuze ziveze ukuthungwa nokujula. Lokhu kukhanya kudala umoya ozwakala umema futhi unenhlonipho, cishe njengokungathi kuwumkhuba onokuthula kunesinyathelo sobuchwepheshe ekwenzeni ubhiya. La hop adunyiswa lapha hhayi nje njengezithako kodwa njengamagugu—izipho zezwe eziluswe ngokucophelela ukuze zithole ubuciko bokwenza utshwala. Umbono ophelele owokunakekela, ukubekezela, nokuhlonipha isiko, kanti i-Yakima Cluster hops ithatha indawo emaphakathi njengamaqhawe okunambitheka nephunga. Lesi sithombe sikhumbuza isibukeli ukuthi ngemva kwayo yonke ipeyinti likabhiya kunezikhathi eziningi ezinjalo zokuphatha okucatshangelwayo, lapho inala yezolimo iguqulwa yizandla zabantu ibe ubuciko boketshezi.
