Organic IPA; Mercury Brewing Ipswitch Harvest Ale The combined acronym CTZ is short for Columbus, Tomahawk or Zeus hops varietals, which are botanically identical and used interchangeably. Columbus is one of the popular "Three Cs," (along with Cascade and Centennial). Dry hopping this varietal adds notable aromatics to the brew.We are proud to offer whole cone hops, grown without synthetic fertilizers, without pesticides or herbicides, and hand-harvested in our small hops yard in southwestern Idaho, a prime soil and climate for this crop! All our hops are hand-harvested and painstakingly air-dried (never force-dried) to an ideal 8%-12% moisture content. During the drying process temps are always below 105°F in order to preserve their most potent characteristics. When ready, the hops are vacuum packed and freezer stored at a temperature that preserves their peak flavor, ready for your brew! We have chosen whole cone over pelletized hops for two reasons: First, the pelletizing process degrades the very humulus lupulin oil you are trying to capture; and Second, the pelletizing process introduces airborne particulates that craft brewers are trying to avoid. Place these hops in a hops bag, or if you prefer, simply add them to your boil just as they come to you, then strain out the remains as you transfer the brew to your primary fermenter. Keep unused hops refrigerated until your next brew day! All orders shipped via USPS. Refrigerate immediately.
