ドライホッピングとは何ですか？
The signature bitterness of most beers comes from hops. This bitterness is added by pouring hops into the wort while it is still in the brew pot (hot side). This is called bittering.
Boiling causes the hops to release alpha and beta acids to add bitterness. But it also evaporates the essential oils that provide floral and fruity aromas and flavors.
