 Hops are used for flavor.....Different types of hops impart different flavors......That's why some European beers can smell "skunkey", for example.

Once my wort (beer before it is "beer") has fermented, I mix a half cup of corn sugar into the 5 gallons of wort, then bottle it. After about a week, the corn sugar I added causes carbonation to take place....
