Classification of hop quality.Peer-reviewed article

P. HAUTKE, D. PETŘÍČEK

The results of mechanical and chemical tests, as well as quality classification used in trade with hops are taken as a base for evaluating the merits and reliability of some methods serving at present for grading hops. One of the important criteria of mechanical analyses is the density of serrations on the cone rachis. By this criterium the hops can be graded into 4 groups. The resin content in hops is fluctuating very considerably and it is therefore necessary to adjust appropriately hop dosing to maintain the standard taste of beer throughout the year.
