Classically applied as an aroma hop in European lager beer, Saaz has found a home in a wide variety of beer styles.

A Noble hop, Saaz originates in Czechia and has developed over many years in the Zatec area.

Saaz hops are a low yielding variety, a lot of work has been carried out over the years in an attempt to improve the yield. This has been achieved through clone selection as it was feared that hybridisation would result in a loss of the traditional aroma characteristics. Until recently all research was aimed at improving the hops this way, however some hybridisation has occurred in recent years to improve the susceptibility to Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew and 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.
