APPENDIX. 275 



HEATING AND HEATED Spoiled from heating. Rotting or 

 rotted; usually due to insufficient drying; also possible from 

 becoming wet through absorption of a large quantity of mois- 

 ture, from exposure, and subsequent sweating with consequent 

 turning and rotting. A heated hop is worthless. 



HEATED BERRIES Berries heated before being put on the 

 kilns. 



HEAVY BALED See hard pressed. 



HEAVY WEIGHTS See hard pressed. 



HIGH-DRIED A degree of curing between over-dried and 

 over-fired, which causes the running of the lupulin and loss of 

 oily matter and brewing strength. High-dried hops are of a 

 chaffy nature. *" 



HIGH-FIRED-See over-firing. 



HOP CLOTH The burlap covering for the bales. This should 

 be 24-ounce cloth, and there must be not more than is neces- 

 sary to properly cover the bales. 



HOPPERS Hop pickers; those who pluck the hops from the 

 vines. 



HOPPING The occasional practice of putting a few whole 

 berries in barrels of malt liquor. 



HOPPING OUT The transitory stage from burr to cone, or 

 formation of the true hop. 



HOP SACKS The sacks in which the hops are taken to the 

 kilns. The size varies in different localities, but should not be 

 made to hold over 80 pounds green hops, which would require 

 a sack about 60 inches long by 40 inches wide. See pokes; also 

 under "foremen." 



HOP STEMS-See core. 



HOP YARD Hop garden, or field of hops. 



IMMATURE Not sufficiently ripe; indicated by green 

 appearance of berry, and pale color of hop seed which when 

 fully ripe is dark purple. 



IN CASE See casing. 



IN HOP Fully contoured strobiles in first stages of develop- 

 ment of hop. 



INSPECTION The trying and examination of every bale, 

 and the passing on each bale separately. See examination; also 

 good light, and try; tryer samples. 



IN THE SWEAT See casing-. 



KILN The house in which the hops are dried. 



KILN BOSS The man in charge of the curing. See dryer. 



KILN CARPET See kiln cloth. 



KILN CLOTH The covering of the kiln floor, usually 10- 

 ounce burlap. Also called kiln carpet. 



LATE HOPS Used in contradistinction to early hops, where 

 a grower has several varieties (including some earlies), or differ- 

 ent fields that mature at differently advanced stages of the 

 harvest season. 



LEADY See dead. 



LEAVES The leaves of the hop vine. 



LIGHT See thin; also good light. 



LIGHT-BALED See loose pressed. 



LIGHT WEIGHTS See loose pressed. 



LIVELY See spongy. 



LOOSE BALED See loose pressed. 



LOOSE PRESSED Not tightly enough baled. Well-cured 

 hops, put up this way, and hops .that are aging, lose weight 

 quickly. Also called loose baled and light baled, and, when of 

 less than proper minimum weight range of 170 pounds, are 

 styled light weights, a term also applied to a lot of bales, a good 

 many of which run under the customary average. See weights. 



LOT A number of bales collectively. 



LUPULIN The bitter, buttery, globular secretion in the 

 hops their principal virtue. In its normal condition, in healthy,
