How To Make Hop Water - like LaCroix Soda Water, but Flavored with Hops!

- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2019
- In this flavored sparkling water video, we show you how to make hop water, a beverage that is similar to flavored sparkling water brands like LaCroix, Bubly, Spindrift, Klarbrunn, Mountain Valley, Polar, and Hal's. Hops are typically used to make beer, especially IPAs and Pale Ales, and they can give any beverage a fruity, citrus, and refreshing bitter flavor. Hop water combines the flavor of hops with sparkling water to make a family friendly drink you can share with kids and adults. Overall, the only ingredients added to this flavored sparkling water beverage are Lemondrop hops, lemon juice, and water. You could add sugar to the mixture in order to make your hop water sweet. This is a very simple recipe to follow and we walk you through the entire process in this video. If you enjoy sparkling water and the aroma and flavor of hops, but don't drink alcohol, hop water is the perfect beverage for you. Currently, commercial hop water is not readily available in stores. If you do find it, store bought hop water is likely to be very expensive, maybe $40 a case. Making this beverage at home will be much cheaper. This flavored sparkling water recipe turned out amazing, we thought it tastes better than LaCroix. Hop water is perfect to drink during the summer or to have on tap at all times of the year. It's a non-alcoholic, pleasant, refreshing, citrus, hydrating beverage that you can share with kids and adults during pool days, cookouts, tailgates, dinner parties, or game day hangouts. Check out the resources below for a full recipe, some of the equipment used in this video, and an article about how Lagunita's has recently started making hop water.

Coors has been in the hop water industry for YEARS! It's called Coors Light
That's the corn malt water industry !
But they forgot the hops lol
I make home brew LaCroix for my wife. She drinks it like crazy.all I do is just boil the water then I chill it down to my wort chiller then I take Brewer's Best flavored extracts and only put in 2 OZ per 5 gallons and then you have LaCroix.
Thanks for making this video guys! I’ve been wanting to make hop water and couldn’t find any homebrew resources! I’m gonna try it now!
Muito boa idéia, vou fazer pra tomar sempre.
Interviewed a pro brewery recently about making hop water and one thing they mentioned that no one else really has anywhere I've seen is that it's good practice to scrub the boiled-and-cooled water with CO2 to make sure that all oxygen is out of solution. I bought the additional supplies (micron stone, CO2 serving tubing and barbed swivel) to make a CO2 stone attachment just for this method. Gonna give it a whirl this week! This video is still the OG hop water video!
As I understand for gas sparging water for oxygen removal it's best to do it warm. So if you were to follow these guy's procedure it would be best done right after the boil. Same reason water carbonates better at lower temperature, it has more capacity to hold gasses the colder it is.
Nitrogen has a bit better ability to knock out oxygen, but it's more expensive and you're already going to use co2 for carbonating.
I've also read that gas sparging at room temp is good for oxygen removal in other liquids, like citrus juice, that can oxidize quickly.
I personally prefer to only dry hop for non-beer beverages like kombucha or hop tea/water; not looking for those bitter alpha acids.
What is this madness! Never heard of hop water before but now I'm intrigued....
Emmet's stained-ass shirt is my spirit animal. Love you guys.
Love this comment and whole-heartedly agree.
I have tried a couple differnt brands of hop water available in the states and they are all pretty good. One thing I would add is that if you make this at home you dont need the fancy keg. Just get a carbcap and a 2 liter bottle then pressurize to 30-40 psi and shake for a min or two.
I was wondering how I could do this without a keg, thank you!
While managing a dispensary here in CO, I got to try a Hop Water which is infused with THC. It's made partially by Lagunitas Brewing and infused with cannabis extract to make one 12oz can, into a single serving (10mg THC) edible. It's super hoppy, and has a nice cannabis flavor as well...which is nice considering cannabis and hops are related! Cool video, seems like an awesome recipe that I'll have to try one day!
I would try to make this!!
You guys should get in Contact with Kros Strain brewing in Omaha. They make hop water commercially at their brewery as a N/A option. They also keep it on tap as a palate cleanser
I have been wanting to do this and or make a tea
Hop kombucha is great too

A lot of adjuncts have non-fermentable sugars. A great example is lactose sugar for milk stouts. Fructose (lemon) is a fermentable sugar.
Hi guys, you can try using a paper filter (instead of the grain bag) to keep less hop particles in suspension. Greetings from Brazil
It's so funny seeing brewers drag all their theory into every other area of life.
Interesting.
I've done this for years to test new hops. It can be very simple ... Hot water with a short couple minutes hop addition in a tea bag, then chill. I've made as little as a glass at a time. You can carbonate if you like that sort of thing, but to see what a hop will do it's not necessary. BTW, I've seen hop water companies serve it at festivals
BTW, if you make a glass worth you would want like 2 pellets. So it really doesn't take much and a good tea bag will contain it. A couple minutes, pull it out, add ice to chill and it's fresh!
And which hop varieties are most interesting?
Hey guys, Awesome video! This is exactly how every project I've ever done would be if I tried making a RUclips video while I was doing it. My favorite moment was the aggressive lemon squeeze at 3:57:-) "4.6....... we're at 3.7..." (
So which hops did you use? Any particular hops better than others?
Interesting Video, cool to see something a bit weirder.
3:21
Nice detail
Обязательно попробую, видимо выйдет охмеленная газировка, очень интересно.
@@mikenotts4166 Я попробую сделать такой же напиток, а не приехать и попробовать его на месте)
I use pelletized cascade hops and boil the water turn off heat add hops. Then after 10 min. Filter out hops from water using a coffee filter ( takes time) then add an oz to home made carbonated water. Lemon or lime to taste.
Those mini kegs are rated for around 45PSI max and you mentioned it running at 50psi. I also believe the pressure relief valves are 30PSI on most. That said it's a 4L mini keg ~128oz.
If you make this without a keg, wouldn't you be able to bottle it with a carbonation tablet too?
this recipe was really good!
outta curiosity, do you think it's necessary to sanitize the gear you store the uncarbed water in?
Yes! There are molds and bacteria that WILL use the hops water as a food source, grow and taste horrible.
I like your approach to this, essentially learning with your viewers. A couple things I noticed. 128 oz = 1 gal which happens to be a bit more than 2 L, closer to 4. When you said a pH of 4.6 is arbitrary that is not so. A pH of 4.6 or lower inhibits growth of Clostridium botulinum and the toxin production therefrom. Botulism, from what I hear, is just a nasty thing to contract. Overall, enjoyable video. Cheers!
Would carbonating not lower the pH below 4.6?
@@infinitefretboard It does drop the pH but is dependent on the mineral content of the water. From a quick look around it can be anywhere from 3-5 so it would still be safest to get the pH to a desirable range first and continue from there. On the other hand, since there are no sugars available and I'm not sure that hops would be a suitable food source, there may be no need to be concerned about botulism.

What if instead of dryhopping we just add hopwater?
i'll need to try this. not too much of an investment if it does not turn out
I like to keep the extra .25 or whatever from beer batches to try this.
Why do you adjust the PH? Should that be done on beer as well?
Depends on your water and the style, but sometimes - yes.
When the water is boiling, the DO (dissolved oxygen) goes to basically 0 almost immediately. I read this somewhere once. LODO brewing techniques.
Have you considered brewing a Rouchbier? Smokey!
I love Hoplark - have to figure out my tea recipe, but am looking for the easier means to force carbonate - are there any "plug and play" systems out there that you could recommend. I have so far kept a gallon in the fridge and used a SodaStream for a quart at a time...
I like Hoplark too. If you don't mind me asking, what tea &/or other ingredients do you add to the Hop water to get to something that taste like Hoplark?
@@stevehunt2190 I've made 4 times. I am playing with temps and steep (whirlpool at 165-170 degrees) with black tea, and some grapefruit (rind... about 1/4 of a grapefruit for 1 gallon). Last batch added 2 black ceylon bags and two peach tea bags with lemon zest and Grapefruit with Mosaic in 2 stages.
Two ways to upgrade from sodastream:
Get an adapter that lets you use regular cga 320 co2 tanks with the sodastream, so you're not paying an arm and a leg for their silly canisters. Or, use that same regular co2 tank with a regulator and a carbonation cap and use practically any soda bottle to force carbonate. There are a host of stainless carb caps, or Keg Land's plastic ones for quite cheap. They even offer a tee piece that lets you turn a soda bottle into a mini ball lock keg. I bought a sodastream and never ended up using it because it turned out to be so much more economical to get a bigger co2 tank.
Had some dry hopped cold brewed coffee on nitro. Drink of the gods.
? Explain
@@artouditou0818 brew some coffee using cold brew method (poor cold water on fine graded coffee beans), then add hopes using dry hops method (warm up coffee about 140F, add hops for 1 hour, dont forget to chill out coffee), then carbonate drink using nitrogen.
I can't figure out if it was a gallon or half gallon batch, because at 0:18 he says 128oz is 2L, which is actally a gallon (3.8L) and at 6:45 he mentions half a gallon again.
try Xylitol as non fermenting sweetener
6:20 Hoppy Barlow
Any possible to make hop orange juice? 🤣
How to: make hop water
1:15 "What are we, hop water people?"
any benefits to hop water? just curious
Mark has to be
@@BallPythons101 im curious lol
= Hops tea
How is this any different to most American beer?
Salty comment. I like!
good one.
Lactose! Like in a Milk Stout. Its non-fermentable & will add some sweetness & body.
Where are you guys located?
Our warehouse is located in Fort Collins, CO
if you're going for something like lacroix you can buy a food grade hop essential oil
Hey guys, Any chance of a Golden Strong Ale next? Perhaps that is a bit strong after making lemon water.
We just finished brewing a triple-- I think we will have to hold off on the Golden Strong for a little while. I'd like to brew one in the fall to have around for the holidays. Do you have a good recipe?
@@ClawhammerSupply Hey guys, check your email.
Aí galera...
Poderiam falar mais pausadamente para eu poder entender.
Obrigado.
Abraços
tea?
So basically budlight
non-formentable sugar is called "sweeter".... stevia for example.
Since boiling water doesnt get ride enough oxygen, (there are studies about that). For how long does last this hopped water? Or did you notice that the carbonation got ride of the oxygen?
So this is how they make natural light 🤔
Nope. This stuff actually tastes good. 😂
A case of bottled beer is around $100 where I live.
Norway? 😂
Alaska
Alaska
Make your own! 1-2gallon batches
Kind of important...2 ounces hops for half gallon water or one gallon water. Just had some good hop water at Snake River Brewery , Jackson Wy.
Why add yeast?
If you add yeast and sugar you can carb naturally in the keg rather than force carbing.
@@GavinTheEnchantedHunchback but then, you'd end up with some ABV in it, where this is supposes to be a non-ABV drink.
It seems some folks that make hop water use yeast---- I could not find any information on the "why" --- we chose not to use in our batch--- I think the yeast might add a bit of flavor to the final product-- that is only a guess on my part.
My guess is either to naturally carbonate with sugar or to remove dissolved oxygen if that matters. There isn't much info on hop water so I'm really not sure
I thought that was Coors?
Isn't it called tea?
Definitely thought this video had Johnny Knoxville in it for a second!
My first question was, why you need to make hop water?
Sounds good to me!
No alcohol jajsja
I mean one could always just go get a Coors Light
Need is not really the active ingredient in making hop water, more like fun
Just store some bottled water near an IPA.
Hoppy Barlow... Pewdiepie reference?
I mean they have a show called brew news lol
@1:00 "The goal here is to not make alcohol."
Could have just poured hot water over hops and had tea.
How much water did you use in this recipe?
non-fermentable sugar ... ie. artificial sweetner
Little bit early for april fools, is it?
I mean one could always just go get a Coors Light
Reverend Aero haha
😂😂😂😂👍🏼
Not hoppy enough to be called "Hop Water"...
Not funny enough to be called "a joke"...
WTF Nice Sarcasm LMAO
Let go 15g pot!
Looks like marijuana to me. Ha ha
H2OPS costs $5.50 for a 4 pack... really not that insane of a price as you make it sound like in the video.
what kind of freak would want this
Guys ,i love your Channel but i need subs in spanish please!!!!!!
why
I don't like water in my hops, thanks anyways.
Or, stay with me here, you could just drink beer 🤯🤯🤯
Sometimes you want to drink something non-alcoholic with flavors that you enjoy, weird concept I know
Its 1 gallon... just say 1 gallon
I'll let Emmet know--- he will nail it next time- or not.
sad
Not a fan
Of hop water?
