What are Hop Pellets?
Hop
pellets are small, compressed pellets made from whole hops and are used
to add bitterness, flavour, and aroma to beer. They are created by
grinding the hop cones into a fine powder in a hammer mill. The powder
is then pressed and forced through an extruder, turning them into hard
pellets.
Types of hop pellets
- T90 Pellets contain over 90% of the non-resinous elements within the hop. Handy pellet form packaged in foil and nitro flushed.
- T45
Pellets have 45% of the vegetative matter remaining and are milled at
sub-zero temperatures, QC checked, foil packaged, and nitro flushed.
- Enhanced
Pellets are specially processed hops. This process will generally
enhance flavours and aromas and can be more efficient when brewing.
Common name brands are Lupulin Pellet, BBC, Lupomax, and Cryo Hops.
We have sort-after hops from around the globe:
- Australia
- Czech
- German
- Japan
- New Zealand
- Slovenia
- UK

Advantages of using hop pellets for brewing beer
For
homebrewing, hop pellets have many advantages over whole hops. Hop
pellets are the perfect solution for adding bitterness, flavour and
aroma to your beer without the hassle of dealing with whole hops.
Here are some of the benefits of using hop pellets for home brewing.
- Easier
to Measure: One of the significant benefits of using hop pellets is
that they are much easier to measure than whole hops. Making them more
reliable when you need to achieve a consistent bitterness or hop flavour
in your beer.
- Last
Longer: Hop pellets have a much longer shelf life than whole hops so
you can store them for extended periods. This allows you to stock up on
hop pellets for future brews and not worry about freshness.
- Increased
Solubility: The pellets are much more soluble in wort than whole hops,
meaning that more hop oils will be released into the wort, giving you
more intense flavours and aromas in the final beer.
- More
Consistent Results: Because hop pellets are much more consistent than
whole hops, you can get the same results batch after batch, making your
beers more predictable and consistent.
- Greater
Efficiency: Because hop pellets are more concentrated than whole hops,
you can get more bitterness or flavour. This means you can use fewer
hops and save money in the long run.
- More
varieties: Because of their smaller size and longer shelf life, hops
are easier to transport. This means we can get hop pellets from all over
the plant, giving us more options for flavours and aromas.
Overall,
hop pellets offer many advantages over whole hops for homebrewers. For
these reasons, hop pellets are an excellent choice for getting the most
out of your brewing experience.
