Originating from the fertile soils of the Pacific Northwest, these hops are a testament to the region's rich brewing heritage. They are a celebration of the ever-evolving craft beer industry, embodying the bold, adventurous spirit of Northwest-style IPAs.

With an alpha acid specification of 9.5-12%, these hop pellets pack a punch. They're not just about strength, though. With a beta acid specification of 4-5%, they balance their robust character with a subtle, nuanced complexity.

The flavor profile of Falconers Flight Hop Pellets is a symphony of tropical, citrus, floral, lemon, and grapefruit tones. Each sip is a journey, transporting you to sun-drenched orchards and blooming flower fields.

As you experiment with adding them at different stages of the boil, you'll discover new layers of flavor, each more intriguing than the last. It's a fun, rewarding process that lets you play an active role in shaping your beer's character.

OTHER PRODUCTS YOU MIGHT NEED

 Yeast

Your yeast selection has a big impact on your overall flavor profile and mouthfeel. You have lots of choices that will work well with Falconers Flight Hop Pellets.

One Step Cleaner

If you are purchasing Falconers Flight Hop Pellets, you're getting ready to make beer and need to wash your equipment. 

Grains and Malt Extracts

If you need hops, you probably also need grains or malt extracts. 

Brew Pots

The pot pictured is an 8 gallon pot that is perfect for a beer kit or a standard 5 gallon batch. 

Wort Chillers and Thermometers

Wort Chillers and Thermometers are long term investments. It is important to chill your wort quickly. The quicker you chill it the stronger the cold break will be. You also need a good thermometer because high powered boiling changes more rapid temperature fluctuations. 

Siphons

Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your brew equipment. Once you have one you will never go without one again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it as often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San. 

Fermenters

 If you are using Falconers Flight Hop Pellets, you are getting ready to ferment some beer. Here's a link to our fermenter equipment.

Hoses

 Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often or even using as single use items is highly recommended with beer making. 

Funnels

Pouring your wort into a carboy can be tricky. Use a big funnel made just for the job. They even have different mesh screens to remove particles.

Airlocks

All that healthy yeast is going to make a lot of gas and you'll be needing an airlock to let it out, and not let anything in. It is recommended to replace airlocks often. Because they never physically touch the beer, the sanitation risk is too often overlooked. Bacteria can spread without physical contact in a closed environment and plastic stubbornly harbors bacteria. 

Yeast Starters

Making a yeast starter is a great way to avoid stuck fermentation and also get high yeast counts that allow the final cells to clean up after themselves, reducing off flavors and aromas. Higher populations means less yeast stress and less risk of off-flavors.  They help make better beer and can be used with Falconers Flight Hop Pellets. Use the right equipment to make the job easy. Flask, Foam Stopper, and Airlock.
