bittering
Making taste sharp
Bittering refers to the process of adding bitter flavor to something, especially in brewing where hops are added early in the boil to impart bitterness to beer: bittering hops, the bittering stage of the brew.
The term distinguishes this function from aromatic or flavoring additions that come later.
Outside brewing, bittering describes any process of making something taste bitter.
