Hop Pellets Domestic

Chinook Hops

Characteristics

Chinook hops were developed in the early 1980s in Washington
state by the USDA as a variant of the Goldings Hop.
Typically used for bittering (12 to 14% AAU), Chinook imparts
a rich, pronounced aroma with a citrus component. If employed later in
the
boil, Chinook imparts a herbal, almost smoky aroma.

Willamette Hops

Willamette hops (pronounced wil-AM-it) where first developed around 1976 as a hybrid of the UK Fuggle hop in Oregon and continues to be very widely-grown hop in the US.

Magnum Hops

Characteristics

Fuggle Hops

Characteristics

Fuggle (or Fuggles, as some say) is a traditional, old-world style aroma hop originating in
the UK. According to the National Hop Association of England,
the culitvar was first grown in Kent in 1875 by Richard Fuggle.

This hop imarts a mild vegetal, woody, or earthy aroma. Alpha acids are low (3.5 to 5% AAU).
Fuggle is grown in the USA (Washington and Oregon) and imparts a bit less of the characteristic aroma when compared
to its English cousin.

Crystal Hops

Characteristics

Crystal is a US hop variety with parentage going back to Hallertau. Like its parent, Crystal has a relatively low
alpha acid range (3.5 to 5.5%) and is best-used in the last part of the boil to impart flavor and aroma constituents.

Like Hallertau, Crystal is somewhat spicy, earthy and noble.
However, crystal is said to be much more pungent and, some say, harsh
than the related German relatives.

Typical Use : Aroma

Alpha Acid : 3.5 to 5.5% AAU

Amarillo Hop Pellets

Characteristics

Amarillo® is a relatively new American hop variety that has been described as "super cascade." The bitterness is between 5 and 11% AAU, making Amarillo® a good hop for flavor and aroma additions.
The flavor profile is very citrusy, especially leaning toward a distinct orange flavor and aroma. I also find Amarillo® to be somewhat sweet until it mellows out in a beer.
This hop was reportedly discovered and introduced by Virgil Gamache Farms Inc. and resulted as a mutation of another hop variety.

Specifications

Columbus Hops

Characteristics

Columbus (also known as Tomahawk) is a relatively new hop variety patented in the USA by HopUnion Inc.
Being relatively high in alpha acid (14 to 16%), Columbus make a great bittering hop. In addition, unlike some of
the other high-alpha hops, Columbus provides a nice flavor profile as well, making it a wonderful all-around hop
and a good candidate for single-hopped pale ales and IPA.

Galena Hops

Characteristics

Galena is a high-alpha (12 to 14% AAU) all purpose bittering hop.
This is a pungent, very bitter variety that can be used in a wide range of beer styles.

According to John Palmer's How To Brew
webpage, Galena is "the most widely used commercial bittering hop in the US."
