Hop: Azacca

Description

Azacca was bred in Washington by the American Dwarf Hop Association with parentage of Toyomidori (Japan with linage from Northern Brewer) and an unknown variety with lineage to Summit. It is named for the Haitian god of agriculture.

Explanations
  • Storage: is based on the percentage of alpha acids remaining after 6 months at 20*F.
  • Oil composition percetages are based on the total percentage of oil in the hop. Example: 10 - 20% means that for the specific oil it is 10 - 20% of the overall oil make up.
