Brew2Bottle Target (UK) 100g T-90 Hop Pellets 2024

Flavours: Pine, Orange, Cedar

Alpha: 9-12%

Target was released in 1972 and was the first result of a Wye College breeding programme to produce a wilt tolerant high alpha variety.

An excellent high alpha variety which gives a robust bitterness. Tends to be too harsh for aroma purposes late in the boil but has produced very good results when used as dry hop pellets in the cask.

Target is a moderate yielding high alpha variety that was grown primarily in Kent and Sussex. However due to the incidence of Wilt it has now also become prominent in Herefordshire and Worcestershire. It is susceptible to Downy Mildew but has good resistance to both 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.
