* '''Plug Hops''' - Dried and compressed hop cones. When hydrated these are essentially the same as whole hops, but will store better.
* '''Pellet Hops''' - Perhaps the most widely available to the home brewer, these hops are dried, chopped and compressed into tiny pellets. They store well, and are easy to measure in small quantities. The chopping and compressing can release some of the lupulin glands to burst losing some aromatic oils.
