Hops Analysis Quote & Sample Submission Form

Submission Instructions: 

  • Hop samples can be dry cones (dry each sample down to approximately 10% moisture); wet cones; or pellets. It is important that your sample be representative. We suggest you select samples from at least four different locations.
    • Hopyard: select from different plants and locations.
    • Piled wet, dry, or pelletized: select from the bottom, top, and sides.
    • Bagged or baled: select from different bags/bales and locations within.
  • If you have other forms of hops, including extracts, please contact us before submitting your sample.
  • Each sample must be at least 100g.
  • Clearly label each sample package with the same unique ‘client sample identification’ you indicated on the sample submission form.
Packaging tips: 

    • Remove air to vacuum seal the package.
    • Place contents in a plastic bag; avoid clear plastic bags if possible; opaque is best.
