Whole Cone East Kent Golding EKG Hops - 2 oz

Universally the first choice for an aroma hop in English Ales. Very mild with pleasant, flowery overtones. Most hops stand out against the malt. This unusual hop actually blends in and complements the malt flavors. You truly cannot add too much at the end of a boil as an aroma/flavor hop. Whole cone hops are typically the preffered format for dry hopping as they maintain contact with the beer by floating, they are easier to remove than pellets and they add a unique character to the beer. Adding whole cone hops directly to the mash tun is also a great way to add an extra layer of hop flavor and help clarify your wort. Often referred to as Kent Goldings, British Kent Goldings, BKG, or East Kent Goldings.
