Pellet Hops

Origin: Germany. Bred at Hüll from English Northern Brewer stock, Perle became extremely popular with German growers and brewers after its release in 1978.  Usage: Aroma, but in an excellent year can have high enough alpha content for use as bittering as well. Its combination of delicacy and brightness go well with the clean flavors of European lagers and cold-fermented ales, as well as the yeast character of many Belgian beers. Some brewers also find nontraditional use for its flavors in blends for pale ale and other hoppy warm-fermented styles.  Aroma & Flavor Characteristics: Lively and sweet with harmonized suggestions of fresh mint and spice in the nose. On the palate, Perle shows a complex mix of floral and spice with mild to medium intensity.     Alpha Acid Range % 4.0-8.0 Beta Acid Range % 2.5-4.5 Co-Humulone as % of Alpha 29-35 Total Oil mL/100 g 0.5-1.5   To preserve freshness, all hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen and light-barrier packages.

Pilgrim is a British dual purpose variety 'high hop' with an alpha acid percentage ranging from 9-13%. Bred at the Hop Research Institute of Wye College, it has the same father as First Gold and Herald. It has performed well as a replacement for other dual hops. It is often compared to Target because of its alpha acid levels. However, higher levels of Humulene and Selinen levels comparable to Challenger give Pilgrim a much hoppier aroma. From early storage trials, stability of the alpha acids in Pilgrim seems to be excellent. Specifications: Aroma Specifications: Spicy, citrusy, pear Alpha Acids: 9.0 - 13.0% Beta Acids: 4.5 - 5.0% Co-Humulone: 36 - 48% Total Oil: 1.2 - 1.8 mL / 100g All hops are nitrogen flushed during packaging including any repackaged in-house.

Hop Type: Dual-PurposeOrigin: EnglandAlpha Acid: 5.0 - 8.0%Similar Varieties: Fuggle, East Kent GoldingCommon Styles: Bitters, Pale Ale, India Pale Ales, Mild, Brown Ales, and Scottish Ales Progress was one of the first varieties to come out of a modern breeding program in England. Its lineage includes Whitbread Goldings and O.B.79, making it cousin to Target. Developed to create a very English Fuggle-like impression in the glass. Moderate to strong suggestions of spring grass, herbs, and fresh flowers overlaid on woods and dried mint. Adds nice floral and grass/herbal complement when blended with fruitier varieties (think EKG or Sovereign) for late and dry hopping. Very fine as a late kettle, hop back, or cask addition in the hoppy English trifecta: bitter, pale ale, IPA. Progress has a high enough alpha content to also perform light bittering duty in mild, brown, and Scottish ales. Adds a nice element to brown porters. Like Fuggle, does well as a single hop or component of a blend.
