Wai-Iti Hop Pellets (NZ) - 1 oz

Wai-iti Hop Pellets (NZ) - 1 oz

Flavor & Aroma: Lush and fragrant with dominant notes of stone fruit (notably peach and apricot) with pleasantly intense citric tones of lime and mandarin

Breeding/Development: Released in 2011 as a new hop variety developed by New Zealand Plant and Food Research, selected for its low alpha acids and high oil content. Wai-iti™ is a granddaughter of Liberty.

Brewing Application: Aroma. Low in alpha acids and cohumulone but comparatively high in oil content, Wai-iti™ delivers strong flavor and aroma when used as a late kettle hop, in the hop back, or as a dry or cask hop. Excellent for hop-driven craft styles as well as wheat beers and dry-hopped sours.

Characteristics:

• Alpha Acid Range %:  2.5 - 3.5
• Beta Acid Range %:  4.5 - 5.5
• Co-Humulone as % of Alpha:  22 - 24
• Total Oil mL/100 g:  1.4 - 1.8

 To preserve freshness, all of our hops are packaged in nitrogen-flushed, oxygen and light-barrier packages.
