Why are they called 'leaf hops'...
...when the whole hops used for brewing are dried flowers of the hop plant?
If I find leaves in my bags of hops I always chuck them away!
Thanks.

Petal Hops just doesn't seem to have the same ring to it somehow

But 'Cone Hops' would sound OK!

You're right. Most unlike me.Dave S wrote:Now you're just being silly, Boingyboingy wrote:Catkin Hops?

(although two of the three are more accurate than you might expect...)

Wonderful suggestions, boingy.
Strobile hops takes my fancy. Leaf hops is about as far away from a proper description as you can get
Might as well call them twig hops. Mind you, there are often twigs in the hops as well. They also get chucked out.
