Brew2Bottle Bramling Cross (UK) 100g T-90 Hop Pellets 2025

Flavours: Lemon, Blackcurrant, Spice

Alpha: 5-8%

Bred from a cross in 1927 between Bramling (one of the traditional Golding varieties) and a male seedling of the Manitoban (Canadian) wild hop. Also known as OT48, this variety was developed at Wye College by Professor Salmon.

It has a strong spice and blackcurrant flavour and firm but pleasant bittering. Bramling Cross has made something of a comeback in traditional cask conditioned beers because of these distinctive characteristics. Brews particularly well with crystal malts.

Bramling Cross is a low yielding variety that is grown primarily in Kent and Sussex. It matures early and is generally easier to grow than other varieties. The variety is susceptible to Downy and Powdery Mildew but shows a high degree of tolerance to Verticillium Wilt.

We weigh all hops only when there is an order for them – none have been sitting of shelves, they are taken out from a bulk vacuum sealed bag in cold storage at the time we complete your order. Our hop pellets are packaged inside UV protected polyethylene bags and vacuum sealed.

Sometimes the vacuum seal can degrade – especially if hop dust settles alongside where the bag is heat sealed. If you receive the hops and it appears that the vacuum is breaking down, the hops will still be perfectly safe to use with no degradation of flavour. If you do not intend to use then in a few days of receiving, we suggest that you store them in a fridge or freezer. Hop pellets stored near-freezing, preferably between -1°C and 5°C. Under these conditions, T-90 hop pellets will remain stable in closed containers for three (3) years.
