What are Hop Plugs
Hop plugs are whole hop cones compressed into a convenient 1/2 oz. plug. They are most useful for aroma and dry hopping. Leaf hops are whole hop cones primarily used for aroma hopping and dry hopping. Imported pellet hops and domestic pellet hops are the most commonly used hop form for homebrewers and microbrewers. The pellets are hops that have been shredded and compacted at harvest and are excellent as bittering hops.
Why Use Hope Plugs?
Plugs are better than loose hop flowers for many reasons. A major problem with loose hop flowers is that they have a lot of surface area, so they spoil rapidly. Plugs are better protected from oxygen and are sized to fit well into the mouth of a carboy for dry hop additions. It's fashionable to call loose hops "fresh hops," but they're often quite stale!
