In this episode of the Hop And Brew School® Podcast, Nick Zeigler and Justin Crossley discuss the mysterious phenomenon of “hop creep”, where brewers experience changes in specific gravity, among other things, when dry hopping their beers. Nick walks us through what is happening in solution to cause the “hop creep” effect, including the chemistry behind it. And of course, what would a Hop And Brew School Podcast be without lessons in how to account for it, or even prevent it? Tune in and demystify this common problem in your heavily dry hopped beers.
