Properties of Hop Pellets – Efficient Aroma Carriers for Your Brewing Craft

Hop pellets are the essence of brewing craftsmanship in a compact form. These highly concentrated hop products combine the valuable bitter substances, essential oils, and aromas of the hop plant in an easy-to-dose format. Compared to raw hops, hop pellets offer a higher yield, improved storage stability, and easier handling in the brewing process. Due to their compressed form, they enable precise dosing and even distribution in the brew, leading to consistent beer quality. Whether for bitterness, aroma, or both – hop pellets are an indispensable tool for brewmasters who value efficiency and flavor consistency.

Variety of Hop Pellets for Every Brewing Need

We offer two main types of hop pellets, which differ in their properties and areas of application:

Hop Pellets Type 90

Hop pellets type 90 are the classic variant and account for about 90% of the original hop weight. They are characterized by the following properties:

  • Ideal all-rounder for various brewing styles
  • Balanced ratio of bitter substances and aromas
  • Well-suited for traditional brewing methods and bitter hopping
  • Lower concentration than hop pellets type 45

 

Hop Pellets Type 45

Hop pellets type 45 are more concentrated and account for about 45% of the original hop weight. Their special features are:

  • Higher concentration of alpha acids and essential oils
  • Particularly suitable for aroma hopping and dry hopping
  • More intense flavor and aroma development
  • Ideal for modern craft beers and hop-forward beer styles

Comparison: Hop Pellets Type 90 vs. Hop Pellets Type 45

    • Concentration: Type 45 is about twice as concentrated as Type 90
    • Dosage: Type 45 generally requires only half the amount compared to Type 90
    • Application: Type 90 is more versatile, while Type 45 is particularly suited for aroma-intensive beers
    • Price: Type 45 is typically more expensive but provides a higher yield

    The choice between Type 90 and Type 45 depends on your specific brewing project and desired beer characteristics. Our experts are happy to advise you on selecting the optimal hop pellets for your brewery. Get in touch with us.
