HOPS - Cure for the common cold?
Good evening/afternoon brewers and winemakers. I saw a news item on FNC this morning about beer fighting against cold-causing virus. I thought y’all might find the article from the Fox News Web site interesting. It seems there is a compound found in hops called humulone that can fight against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Problem is (which I don’t see as a problem) you have to drink 30 12oz beers to get the amount of humhlone needed to be effective. The article does not specify a time period in which to drink those 30 beers. One day would be a bit much for me. Three days, OK. A week no problem! Link to the article below:
A beer prescription? Beer can fight against cold-causing virus
The nine not to try! I never understood why Miller used the clear glass bottles.
You live in a great area of the country for growing hops. I hope your brew turns out well.
I don’t recall any stars on the labels. Maybe that was the problem. I do recall them storing the cases of beer outside in the sun though
