Hop: Bor
Description
Bor was an open pollination between Northern Brewery and Saaz and released in 1994 by United States Department of Agriculture. Although a poor producer, it has been used to breed other hop seedlings.
Bor was named for the location in the "Bone Yard" at Prosser, Washington: row 7, plant number 4 after being transferred from Parma, Idaho.

Did you know?
- Dwarf variety hops grow shorter in height than traditional varieties but, importantly, produce the same yield. This combination makes harvest easier.
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.
