Kosher yeast Certifications

Over the last few months, I have been asked frequently about kosher yeast certifications. The best way to find the leading manufacturers LOC's (Letters of Certification) can be found here:

check their website for additional information on "kosher" status

    Here is a kosher certified hops producer - not sure if this is a rarity or necessary. Your thoughts?

    Thanks. Hop-Union is a big supplier to the homebrewers. Thanks for sharing. Many authorities feel that dried hops probably don't need a certification, but it certainly can't hurt to have it.

    It sounds like you have done your research into the home brewing ingredients and kosher, can you share what you have found?

    For example, you mention that "Many authorities feel that dried hops probably don't need a certification". Have you heard the basis for this? Are there any ingredients, in the processing or for taste or preservation that are added to hops that would raise an issue? Are there some authorities that would require a certification?
