Tettnanger is a traditional German noble hop from the Saaz group, grown mainly around Tettnang on Lake Constance. Its fine, mild aroma - spicy, herbal, woody and floral - makes it a key hop for authentic German lagers.

Hop profile

  • Origin: Germany, Tettnang region; a traditional landrace variety
  • Alpha acid: low, typically around 3-5.5%
  • Aroma: spicy, herbal, woody and floral
  • Type: aroma hop

How to use it

Use it late in the boil for aroma in lagers and continental ales. For bittering, many brewers use a higher-alpha hop such as Magnum and keep Tettnanger for flavour. 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 German lagers, pilsners, wheat beers, Kölsch and Altbier. 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.

A 100g pack is also available: Tettnanger (T90 Pellet).
