Figure 9.5. International bittering unit values of some beers in the range from 200 to 2600, including the world’s bitterest. There are many thousands of beers in the under200 IBU range. Some of the beers listed may not still be in production.

Finally, some nuances of IBU and hops require mention. A beer’s IBU will diminish if it is stored for too long, which suggests that the iso-humulone tends to degrade over time. In addition, it is now common practice to pelletize hops. This process uses a hammer mill to grind the dried hops into a fine powder, which is then compressed into little pellets that look a lot like animal feed. Which form (pellets or cones) is better for brewing? It remains a matter of opinion. Both whole hops and pelletized hops have their advantages and disadvantages, and in the end, it is six of one, a half-dozen of the other.
