Named after the Slavic god of fertility, Jarrylo (pronounced Yar-i-low) is a unique variety bred by the ADHA. With Summit as its mother, Jarrylo was originally used in lots of lagers and pilsners, but has been successfully used in everything from Weizens to IPAs. It has a unique banana character that plays well with wheats and weizens, but it also inherited its mother's spicey notes, which are perfectly suited for Saisons and other belgian styles. Jarrylo has also been used as a bittering hop in pale ales and IPAs, lending a fresh fruit aroma of pears and oranges.Crop/skörd: 2020Form: PelletsAlpha acids: 11-15%

The hop plant comes from Korsta village, Sköns parish near Sundsvall. On a parcel map from 1769, you can see where the hop cultivation was located. Just over 200 years later, the hops were still growing in the same place and were donated to a project with the Nordic Museum, the Program for Cultivated Diversity (POM) and the National Archives (GEORG database) to preserve green cultural heritage. The hop variety is now cloned and preserved in the National Archives' database for the future.Aroma: Spicy with citrus and prominent grapefruit and notes of tropical fruits and green grass.Country of cultivation: Swedencrop: 2024Typical values:Alpha acid (actual alpha acid is on the label): 7 - 10%Amount of oils: 1.03 ml / 100 g

Enzyme preparation which has been developed to increase the complexity of the hop aroma and flavour profile in beer. The enzyme beta-glucosidase is capable of hydrolysing the glycosidic bonds, liberating monoterpene alcohol compounds and glucose. The glucose is fermented by the yeast while the terpenes (linalool) adds to the aromatic expression of the hops. This process of biotransformation also occurs naturally during a normal fermentation process as yeast secretes some β-glucosidase, although the levels of secreted enzymes are strain-dependent.Increases the diversity of hop flavors and aroma by changing the ratio of specific terpene compoundsEnhances the beer mouthfeel and drinkability by reducing unpleasant harsh bitternessSlightly increases wort fermentabilityExpresses more character from less sophisticated hop varietiesThe recommended dosage is 1 g per 20 liters (5 g / hL) at a temperature between 15 - 65 °C. Dilute the enzyme in an adequate amount (avg. 1:10) of water to allow an even distribution in the fermenting wort.β-glucosidase activity in biotransformation is a complex process. There are many factors that will have impact on the final product. The selection of the yeast strain, hop variety, timing of hop additions and timing of enzyme addition will all have a direct influence on the final result. Dry-hopping early in fermentation will result in greater extraction of terpene glycosides. Add the enzyme mid-fermentation to allow time for the enzyme to break down glycosides and the actively fermenting yeast to consume the glucose released from the reaction, while minimizing volatile loss from CO2 stripping. It is recommended to perform trials with Aromazyme in order to optimise recipe and process details. Aromazyme is derived from a selected strain of non-GMO Aspergillus niger.

Born in 1983, Liberty is half-sister to Crystal, Ultra and Mt. Hood. It originates from Hallertau Mittelfrüher and a disease resistant German aroma male. Liberty’s yield is low but it still enjoys popularity, especially in the US. It is a genetically sterile variety and not suitable for breeding.Harvest Moon Brewery uses Liberty liberally in their Full Moon Pale Ale along with Cascade. Given its heritage, it’s no wonder Liberty is likened characteristically to noble hops. Brewers should be advised that, due to Liberty’s very poor storage stability, they should be obtained and used fresh where possible.Crop/skörd: 2021Form: PelletsAlpha acids: 3-6%

Loral, formerly known as HBC 291, provides a more traditional yet unique hop character, providing the floral and herbal notes one would expect from a fine noble aroma hop.The aroma profile of Loral has been described as a “super noble hop” with its wonderful floral and herbal notes followed by a backdrop of citrus and earthy character. A touch of sweet fruity aroma rounds out this well-balanced hop. In beer, the floral notes are accentuated yet complemented nicely by fruity and citrus with just a hint of herbal. Don’t expect an in-your-face fruity character with Loral as seen with some recent U.S. variety releases - this hop is approachable and balanced. Great for distinctive IPAs and pale ales but perfect for sessionable and lager-style beers.Crop/skörd: 2021Form: PelletsAlpha acids: 11-12%

Magnum is a great bittering hop with an aroma similar to a strong Willamette.

Mosaic is described as Citra on steroids, but it’s much more than that. Rich in Mango, lemon, citrus, earthy pine, tropical fruit, herbal and stone fruit notes. Also some blue berry.Mosaic combines a very complex hop aroma with fairly high alpha-acids and low cohumulone which makes it a perfect triple purpose hop (Bittering/Flavor/Aroma).

Triploid Alpha type developed by the cross of the NZ variety "First Choice" (a relative of the Late Cluster) and an “Old Line” Saazer Male. Released from the New Zealand Hop Research Programme by HortReasearch Centre Riwaka in 2004.This variety is the most recent release out of the New Zealand Hop Research Programme selected on its average alpha of 12-14% with Cohumulone in the region of 24% and an excellent oils profile. The aroma of this hop is described as “bold” as it delivers a herbal infusion of fresh citrus and crushed black pepper. Brewing trials have illustrated Pacific Jade as an excellent hop that delivers a pleasing soft bitterness matched to desirable aroma characteristics.Suited for use as a bittering hop with some excellent results also being seen in dual purpose applications, with a soft bitterness attributable to the low cohumulone. The citrus aroma and flavour notes work well to temper malt sweetness in “fullish” Ales especially when used moderately as a finishing hop. Pacific Jade is also well suited to balance dryer Lager styles when employed as an “up-front” kettle addition to showcase its bittering qualities.“Displays great versatility in the brewhouse”Typically to replace less interesting Alpha varieties where a softer bitterness and higher oil profile is desired. The Pacific Jade exemplifies market direction and the New Zealand breeding programme.Crop/skörd: 2021Form: PelletsAlpha acids: 11-15%
