Has anyone ever added hops to their bottling priming sugar solution? Bartenders and cooks make infused simple syrup all of the time just curious if anyone has tried it in their beer.
Yes, I have done it a few times with good results. In the BYO mag. "Hop Lovers Guide" they tell you how to do this technique. The technique is called bottle hopping. It will add hop flavor to your beer but not bitterness. I took an ounce of hops in a hop bag, added that to my pot with two cups of water, and 3/4 cup of corn sugar in it. I brought it to a boil then shut off the flame and left the hops sit in the solution till it cooled. Once cooled I added it to my bottling bucket and bottled the batch of beer. Try it.
