Dried Heather Tips - 2 oz (56 g)

Commonly found in Scottish ale recipes, Heather Tips have been a part of brewing tradition in Western Europe long before the advent of hops as the main bittering agent.

Sometimes compared to chamomile, heather is defined by a very smooth herbal bitterness and aroma, which gives a certain medieval flavour to a beer.

Heather Tips can be used as a complete substitute to hops, added at the beginning of the boil to derive more bitterness, or as a common spicing agent at the end for obtaining a more pronounced herbal aroma.
