Hop tea

[Teufelhunde]

Anyone with experience making hop teas to use in place of dry hopping? What is your process? Did you get the desired result?

I am interested in giving this a try and looking for input....

I've used hop tea a couple of times in place of bittering hops and once for flavor and aroma hops too. It worked just fine, although I don't think I got as much bitterness as with boiling in the wort for an hour.

I’ve done it a few times to increase bitterness, but didn’t get much aroma.

I steeped hops in a French press at about 160 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

Works great for hop tea added to sparkling water.
