2 Techniques in 1 beer

Late hopping and dry hopping are two techniques used in brewing beer, especially when adding hops.
Late hopping refers to adding hop flowers or hop extracts during the last part of the beer boiling process.
This is usually done just before the fire is turned off.
By adding the hops at this time, the beer retains more of the aromatic oils and volatile compounds that contribute to the hop flavors.
Late hopping can provide intense and fresh hop aromas in the final beer. Dry hopping, on the other hand, involves adding hop flowers or hop pellets to the beer during fermentation or after the primary fermentation process.
This is done while the beer is still in the fermentation vessel.
Adding hops in this way allows the aromatic properties of the hops to be better preserved because there is no heating that could evaporate the volatile oils.
Dry hopping can contribute to a stronger hop aroma and a more pronounced hop character in the beer without adding much bitterness.
Both techniques are often used to enrich beers with hop aromas and add to the flavor experience.
