// Definition
The significant overlap in terpene chemistry between hops (Humulus) and cannabis (Cannabis), both members of the Cannabaceae family. Both plants share many aromatic compounds, and techniques for preserving and extracting terpenes from hops directly inform cannabis processing. Nick, described as 'the Bubbleman of hops,' bridges craft brewing's dry-hopping and lupulin processing knowledge with cannabis terpene science.
// From the Episode
