Northdown is a British dual-purpose hop developed at Wye College and grown commercially since the early 1970s. It gives a full, well-rounded bitterness with spicy, piney, floral and berry notes - a dependable choice for traditional ales.

Hop profile

  • Origin: UK, Wye College
  • Alpha acid: around 7-10% (British Hop Association)
  • Aroma: spicy, fresh pine, floral and berry, with a cedary edge
  • Type: dual purpose: bittering or late hopping

How to use it

Use it as the main bittering hop at the start of the boil, or late in the boil for its aroma - its high oil content gives it a distinctive character. Alpha acid changes from crop to crop, so check the figure on your pack and scale your recipe with our Hops Alpha Adjustment calculator.

Who it's for

Brewers of English bitters, pale ales, milds, old ales, barley wines and porters. The British Hop Association notes its berry character is especially good in mild, old ale and barley wine. T90 pellets are the standard form for home brewing - consistent, easy to weigh and easy to store. Keep the opened pack sealed and cold; our hop storage guide explains how.
