Introducing our Lemondrop Hop Pellets - a 1 oz pack of zesty, citrusy goodness that hails from the fertile hop fields of the Pacific Northwest. These hop pellets are not just any hops, they're a unique variety known as Super Cascade, originally dubbed Experimental #01210.
With an Alpha-Acid percentage ranging from 5.0 to 7.0, and a Beta-Acid percentage between 4.0 and 6.0, these hop pellets pack a punch. But don't let those numbers intimidate you. They're simply indicators of the bitterness and aroma potential these hops can bring to your beer.
The flavor profile of our Lemondrop Hop Pellets is a delightful blend of fruity and herbal notes. Imagine the tangy zest of a freshly peeled lemon, combined with the subtle earthiness of herbs. That's the flavor magic these hop pellets can bring to your brew.
Now, let's talk about the brewing process. When you add these hop pellets at different stages of the boil, you're in control of the flavor intensity. Add them early in the boil, and you'll get a more pronounced bitterness. Add them later, and you'll get a more subtle, aromatic flavor. And if you're feeling adventurous, try dry hopping with these pellets to really amplify the citrus aroma.
Remember, your beer is a reflection of you. It's your creativity, your passion, and your taste buds that make each brew unique. So, why not add a little zing to your next batch with our Lemondrop Hop Pellets? They're fun, they're flavorful, and they're just waiting to make your next brew the best one yet.
So go ahead, give your beer the citrus twist it deserves with our Lemondrop Hop Pellets. Your taste buds will thank you!

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.
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.
If you are using Lemondrop Hop Pellets, you are getting ready to ferment some beer. Here's a link to our fermenter equipment.
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.
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.
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.
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 Lemondrop Hop Pellets. Use the right equipment to make the job easy.

While hops can be grown in many parts of the US and Canada, they require specific conditions for commercial production. These climbing plants are typically trained to grow on trellises made of strings or wires, which provide support and allow for greater growth with the same amount of sunlight.
