I was looking at the American Society of Brewing Chemists website ... pretty good stuff in there if you search around enough. Found a somewhat odd article on spontaneous combustion of hops : http://www.asbcnet.org/meetings/2002/abstracts/o-3.htm
This obviously has nothing to do with the quantities of hops we are using, I just found it kinda funny/wierd.
Do a few searches on the website, there's some interesting stuff to be found.
