Chinook (US) Hops Pellets – High Alpha Bittering & Pine Aroma Craft Brewing Hop

The Iconic American Chinook Hop

Sensory Profile & Brewing Performance

This variety is celebrated for its distinctively piney, spicy, and grapefruit-like profile. As a potent bittering hop, it provides a clean, firm bitterness, though its aromatic volatility means it should be balanced carefully to maintain its sophisticated charm in your final brew.

Key Features:

• Form: Pellets (ground and compressed for 10% higher efficiency than cones)
• Origin: USA (Washington State)
• Style: Dual-purpose (Primarily Bittering)
• Storage: Vacuum-sealed in aluminum foil for maximum freshness and alpha acid retention

Our Chinook hops are carefully stored to ensure that the unique essential oils and bitterness levels remain intact from harvest to kettle.
