• Hallertau Hersbrucker (100g)

General Description

 

German Hersbrucker hop was specifically bred with the intention of being able to be used as a replacement for Hallertau Mittlefrüh, in case supplies may have been shorted. This hop is still vastly produced in Germany and, with its low Alpha Acid percentage, provides a pleasant and balanced fruity, spicy and floral aroma. This hop is of course best suited for more hop neutral styles of beer.

Storage

Colder is better when storing hops as the rate of loss halves for every 15°C lowered in temperature. Optimal storage conditions for hops are between -21°C - 0°C in a sealed, airtight environment.

Shelf life

If stored in ideal conditions your hops will only experience a rate of deterioration of about 10% for every 6 months stored. An unopened packet of hop pellets can effectively last up to 4 years in ideal conditions, though keep in mind that the rate of deterioration increases at higher temperatures and unsealed environments.
