Hop Information

[DrunkenIrish]

Hi Guys,

does anyone know of a gigantic hop information page? Like a good hop chemistry page? The information from Northern Brewer, or B3 is nice, but it's never enough. I've been taking notes on stuff the brewcasters say, specifics about hops, cohumulone quantities, different fruit smells (who knew columbus smelled like apricots?), but often I'm too drunk to figure out my notes.

Anyway, anyone know of a useful document with this information?

I picked up a hard copy of Hop Union's Hop Data Book some time back. I won't design a beer without that in hand. I see Lufah's link has a link to download a pdf copy. You definitely want to do that.

wow, thanks guys. I had never seen that PDF or website before, but I'll be using them for the next round of brewing Also, I had Ray Daniels book, but honestly, I keep skipping over his first few chapters. So looking back at the hop chapters was really cool. Didn't know that information was there

Thanks!

You guys are the best! Ok, that doesn't sound very manly, but whatever. Anyway, this info that you are all putting out is great. I have the problem now of learning just how little I know. I am trying to learn about things that I didn't even know mattered to me. Thanks for the now info.

Dave Wills of Freshops has this link to the USDA R&D center out ofOregon State University's Hop Research Lab in Corvallis, Oregon. Great deal of info on just about every hop you can imagine, and some I've never even heard of (like Newport). Hope this helps a wee bit Ttyal, and ilbcnu!

Prost!
