How to use it

Add it early in the boil for a smooth, firm bitterness, or later on for its woody, minty 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

It is the traditional hop for California common (steam beer) and also suits English ales, German lagers, porters and amber ales. 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.
