Hops

The RAPT Portal has a large database of hops which is maintained to be as up to date as possible.

This works in a similar manner to Fermentables where you can also add any items that are not in the database to your inventory manually as well.

To add a hop to your inventory select the Add button in the top left.

This will bring up the Hops window where you either search for the hop to add, or simply enter it manually if it is not in the database.

Once you have found the hop you wish to add in the database, select it by clicking the name. This will populate the fields with the current values for the hop. These can be added to or edited manually if desired. FIelds that can be entered include Supplier, Name, Origin, Form (Pellet, Plug, Leaf or Extract), Typical Values such as Alpha Acids.

Once you are happy with the information for the hop, select Save to save this to your Hops inventory.

If the hop you wish to add is not in the database it can be added manually.

Simply enter the values in the fields as necessary. There are three information tabs - DETAILS, TYPICAL VALUES and OTHER

Details is the name, supplier etc of the hop. Typical Values is the specification of the hop - Alpha Acid is the most important of these as the recipe builde will use this information.

Once you are happy with the information for the hop, select Save to save this to your Hops inventory.

Every item entered in your Inventory also has an Inventory Amount field. This should be kept up to date with the current inventory level. If any item in your Inventory is used in a recipe in the RAPT Portal Recipe Library, you can elect to have the item automatically deducted from your Inventory when the recipe is brewed.
