Mystic T90 Hop Pellets (UK)

Mystic® Hops, developed by the Charles Faram Hop Development Programme in Britain, represent a recent addition to the hop landscape. This variety boasts a lower alpha acid content, making it ideal for imparting clean bitterness in lighter beer styles. However, its true calling lies in its fruit-forward aroma profile, rendering it predominantly sought after for its aromatic qualities. While not as robust as its UK counterpart, Harlequin®, Mystic® stands out with its distinctive blend of black currant, citrus, and passion fruit notes. Derived from the lineage of Jester®, Mystic® was meticulously chosen not only for its exceptional aroma but also for its resistance to diseases and promising yield potential.

T90 HOP PELLETS

Manufacturers produce T-90 hop pellets by hammer-milling kiln-dried, whole leaf hop cones into a uniform powder and then pressing them through a pellet die. Pellet compression fine-tunes to achieve a consistent density for repeatable brewing, batch after batch, addressing variations in oil and vegetative content in leaf hops.

The production processes continually monitor temperature and cool the pellet die to protect and preserve hop resins. Hop pellets retain all natural lupulin and cone material, serving as a complete replacement for whole hops. They have a longer shelf life, requiring less storage space, and generally being easier to handle.

STORAGE

Weighing of hops occurs only upon receiving an order. They do not sit on shelves; instead, they are extracted from a bulk vacuum-sealed bag in cold storage. We package our hop pellets in UV-protected polyethylene bags and vacuum seal them for freshness and quality.

The vacuum seal may degrade, particularly if hop dust accumulates near the heat-sealed section of the bag. 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.
