Magnum (GR) Hop Pellets

Description

Bred in Germany in 1980 at the Hop Research Center in Hüll for high alpha and yield performance and registered in 1993. Magnum is a daughter of Galena and the German male 75/5/3. As a bittering hop, Magnum is known for contributing very smooth, clean bitterness along the lines of Nugget and Horizon. High alpha content (higher AA content than US Magnum) gives excellent bittering power for any hoppy style; great for German Pilsner.

Despite its predominant use as an early boil addition, Magnum has a fine, if understated, character, showing restrained and mild fresh flower and fruit aromatics when used late in the boil.

Alpha Acid: 11-16%
