Who enjoys eating a pinch of raw hops before adding them to boil? Just had a pinch of whole fuggles while making my house bitter.

::raises hand::

I like to take a pinch of grains that I'm brewing with ans a lil hops together. Tasty lil treat before brewing!

 

[TheVenerableMead]

Sometimes, I worry I won't make gravity due to the tastiness of malted grain.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

I don't actually eat them, but I've chewed on leaf style goldings a few times.
Regards, GF.

no no, this thread is about eating hops.

if you don't hyperventilate hop fumes, you're not a homebrewer

REPORTED..

This is "COOKING AND PAIRING" material...

Hardly Drunken or Rambling

I admit to nossing! Muahahaha

You can't trick me into self hop-criminating myself again!

I like to chew on a few grain kernels. My 2yr old son likes them too. Whenever I weigh out grain he runs over and says "Have some?". It was cute until I caught him with his arm shoulder deep in a bucket of Munich. Not like he could hurt the grain really, but the clean up wasn't fun.

I tried it once. Instant regret.

Though the hop-teas I've made with leftovers have been tolerable.

 

[Heavywalker]

It has never crossed my mind, but now that I read this I don't think I will get through my next brew without a taste. Damn you....

When I was attending college in Denver we'd zip out to Golden and hit up the Coors hospitality room a couple times a month just for the free beer. But they made you take the brewery tour - you couldn't just make a bee-line to the taps. After months of the tour I finally cracked out of sheer boredom and snatched a pinch of pressed hops from a rolling bin stationed next to one of the (humongous) boil kettles, tucked it in my cheek, and let that wad fester.

I have no idea what strain that was, but the brain-scarring impression it left on me was severe enough that by the end of the day I had switched to Crown Royal and didn't have another beer for almost two years

I wouldn't do that again for love or money...

Cheers!

It's ok, you'd be the most current in an epically long line of people who laughed before

Honest to gawd, I couldn't stand the aroma of beer for a good couple of years. By the time I finally got over it I could have stitched a circus tent out of all the purple felt bags with the gold draw strings I had collected.

Much better now, thanks

Cheers!

I don't see what the problem is here...

 

[Homercidal]

LOL!

I would not do it. I've harvested hops, washed my hands, and licked my fingers after dinner and my fingers were STILL too bitter after washing. And I like hoppy beer!

Well you need to work on altering your BU:GU of your skin. Duh!

I recall a thread where Lorena (Yooper) mentioned how good the popcorn was one evening - and realized that she still had some hop particles on her hands.

I took that and ground up a couple of pellets, sprinkled them on some popcorn - MISTAKE! - way too bitter. I think the tiniest pinch would have been plenty.

 

[beeber]

No but I took a taste of a hop shot once - boy did I regret that. Took forever for the bitter taste to go away.

Chew on low AA hops, or even tuck 'em between your cheek & gum like you would snuff. Low AA hops aren't as bitter. I chew on 4.2% AA Goldings, though I have to spit 'em out after a couple minutes. Hhhmmmmmm; hop flavoured snuff, without the bitterness...
Might be a viable product.

I'd buy Cascade and/or Nelson chew.:rockin:
