This article is still to be written. If you would like to write this article, please PM BIABrewer.

Note that this article needs to make the following points...

1. How hop additions are timed. Make sure it is clear that the timing works backwards from the end of the boil not forwards from the start. This has caushgt one or two new brewers out.

2. Explain how and when bittering, flavour and aroma hops are added.

3. Link to other ways of hopping such as FWH, dry hopping etc.
