Description
Idaho 7 T90 Hop Pellets (USA)
Idaho 7 was bred and released by Jackson Farms near Boise, Idaho. Idaho 7 presents as pungent tropical fruit and citrus (think apricot, orange, red grapefruit, papaya) with big notes of resiny pine and hints of black tea.
Typically used as an aroma or flavour hop with high alpha acid levels and average Cohumulone content, Idaho 7 has a strong hop character making it also ideal for IPAs, APAs and any other hop-forward beer.
Idaho 7 is often used in a single hop brew or for blending as a late addition. The high oil content and soft pelletising process also make Idaho 7 ideal for dry hopping. It does however have enough alpha acids to contribute good bitterness to a brew as well.

T90 HOP PELLETS
T-90 hop pellets are produced from kiln-dried, whole leaf hop cones which have been hammer-milled into a uniform powder and pressed through a pellet die. Leaf hops vary in oil and vegetative content, so pellet compression is fine-tuned to achieve a consistent density for repeatable brewing, batch after batch.
Production processes are designed to protect and preserve hop resins by continually monitoring temperature and cooling the pellet die. Hop pellets retain all of their natural lupulin and cone material, and can be used as a full replacement for whole hops having a longer shelf life, requiring less storage space, and generally being easier to handle.
STORAGE
We weigh all hops only when there is an order for them – none have been sitting of shelves, they are taken out from a bulk vacuum sealed bag in cold storage at the time we complete your order. Our hop pellets are packaged inside UV protected polyethylene bags and vacuum sealed.
Sometimes the vacuum seal can degrade – especially if hop dust settles alongside where the bag is heat sealed. If you receive the hops and it appears that the vacuum is breaking down, the hops will still be perfectly safe to use with no degradation of flavour. If you do not intend to use then in a few days of receiving, we suggest that you store them in a fridge or freezer. Hop pellets stored near-freezing, preferably between -1°C and 5°C. Under these conditions, T-90 hop pellets will remain stable in closed containers for three (3) years.
