I could offer conjecture about there being liquid in the hops, but that seems crazy--it's just not enough volume, right?Jeff Alworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02930119177544342495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-74858807048005103782012-09-19T11:03:17.233-07:002012-09-19T11:03:17.233-07:00Hey.

We just got an order of wet hops overnighted and I am noticing when the hops are used at knockout the og of the beer lowers. Weird huh? It's happened with three different brewers.

Unfortunately, I'm in Tucson. There seems to be a decided shortage of fresh hops here. Beers made with regular hops seem to be pretty decent, especially at Gentle Ben's and Nimbus brewing.<br /><br />If nobody takes up the analysis challenge, I'd be willing to do it next fall when I'm back in Mac.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968887834295143047noreply@blogger.com
