Hop Science

Hop Creep

An unintended refermentation caused by enzymes present on hop matter during dry hopping. These enzymes (primarily amyloglucosidase) break down residual dextrins into fermentable sugars, leading to over-attenuation, increased alcohol, diacetyl production, and potential over-carbonation in packaged beer.
