German Hallertau Blanc Hop Pellets 1 lb

Hailing from the heart of Germany, our Hallertau Blanc Hop Pellets 1 lb. are a testament to the rich tradition of German brewing. These hop pellets are a new breed, boasting bold flavor profiles that are a match made in heaven for American-style Ales.

With an alpha acid specification of 9% - 12%, these hops are not just about bitterness, but also about adding a unique character to your beer. The beta acid content ranges from 4.3% - 5.9%, contributing to the beer's stability and shelf life. The cohumulone content, at 22% - 26%, ensures a smooth bitterness that doesn't overpower the beer's other flavors.

The flavor profile of these hop pellets is a delightful symphony of tropical and citrus notes. Expect moderate to strong flavors featuring pineapple, gooseberry, white grape, fresh lemongrass stalk, and passionfruit. It's like a tropical vacation in every sip, but with a cleaner, less “dank” profile.

The magic of these hops is in how you use them in your brewing process. Add them early in the boil, and they'll impart a more bitter, grapefruit-like flavor. But if you add them later, you'll get more of the fruity, tropical notes like pineapple and passionfruit. It's all about playing with the timing to get the flavor profile that suits your palate.

So, if you're looking to add a twist to your next brew, our German Hallertau Blanc Hop Pellets are just the ticket. They're not just hops; they're a fun and flavorful journey for your taste buds. So go ahead, add them to your brewing arsenal and let your creativity flow. After all, it's your beer, and it deserves the best ingredients.

One Step Cleaner

If you are purchasing Hallertau Blanc 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 Hallertau Blanc 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 Hallertau Blanc Hop Pellets. Use the right equipment to make the job easy. Flask, Foam Stopper, and Airlock. 

 DID YOU KNOW

During the early 16th century in Germany, the use of hops in beer production held both religious and political significance. Unlike gruit, hops were not subject to taxation by the Catholic church, making them a preferred choice for Protestants.
