Nugget Hop Pellets

Nugget was bred by the USDA and saw its first commercial harvest in 1983. Since then it has become a mainstay in many big American style beers including IPAs, Stouts, and Barleywines. It is primarily used as a bittering hop due to its high Alpha Acids(recent harvests range from 11-16%), but many highly respected breweries including Green Flash and Toppling Goliath use it for aroma and flavor as well. Nugget's high myrcene oil content gives it a woody and piney character.

Alpha Acid: 15.2%
Beta Acid: 3.0 - 5.0%
Cohumulone: 22 - 30% of AA
Total Oil: 0.9 - 1.3 ml/100g
