Our new hop packaging with a QR code for web based information.

We are changing our method of packing hops. Previously we have nitrogen flushed them, then sucked all the nitrogen out and vacuum sealed them, but we are now moving to pillow packing where instead of sucking out the nitrogen we are leaving it in. This makes it easier to pack them, protects the hops better and reduces the chances that anything a bit pointy will cause a pinprick and suck in air.

We are phasing in the new packaging, so if the hops your hops have a brown logo and say Nitrogen Flushed – Vacuum Packed on the reverse they are the original packaging so should be vacuum sealed, Whereas the pillow packed hops have a black logo and on the reverse they say Nitrogen Flushed Packaging, they also have a QR code which, when you scan it, takes you to an page which gives you various information about the hops including the batch code, harvest year and alpha acid levels.
