[1] Cascade was the most widely planted hop by growers in the US for many years, before being surpassed by Citra hops in 2018. [2]
Bred in 2007 at the Hop Research Center Hüll in Germany from a cross between Cascade and the Hüll male breeding line 2004/026/007 (94/045/001 × wild PM resistant male). One of the four new Hüll “Special Flavor Hops” registered to the European Community Plant Variety Office in 2012. [21] [22]
Aroma hops usually have a lower concentration of alpha acids (~5%) and are the primary contributors of hop aroma and (nonbitter) flavour. Bittering hops are boiled for a longer period of time, typically 60–90 minutes, and often have inferior aromatic properties, as the aromatic compounds evaporate during the boil.
Chinook Hops are one of several varieties of hops cultivated in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. The United States of America is the world's largest producer of hops, the flowers of female Humulus lupulus plants. [1] The primary use of hops grown in the United States is in brewing. In 2019, the U.S. accounted for 40% of world hop ...
Humulus, or hop, is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Cannabaceae.The hop is native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Hops are the female flowers (seed cones, strobiles) of the hop species H. lupulus; as a main flavor and aroma ingredient in many beer styles, H. lupulus is widely cultivated for use by the brewing industry.
Humulus lupulus, the common hop or hops, is a species of flowering plant in the hemp family, Cannabaceae. It is a perennial , herbaceous climbing plant which sends up new shoots in early spring and dies back to a cold-hardy rhizome in autumn. [ 2 ]
The alpha acid "rating" on hops indicates the amount of alpha acid as a percentage of total weight of the hop. Hops with a higher alpha acid content will contribute more bitterness than a lower alpha acid hop when using the same amount of hops. High alpha acid varieties of hops are more efficient for producing highly bitter beers.
Cannabaceae is a small family of flowering plants, known as the hemp family.As now circumscribed, the family includes about 170 species grouped in about 11 genera, including Cannabis (hemp), Humulus and Celtis (hackberries).
