Hop: Ahil

Description

Ahil was bred from Brewer's Gold and a Yugoslavian wild male. The acreage is limited in Slovenia as the preferance is for Styrian Golding as Ahil was received by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1972 and labeled "Superstrian" hops along with Apolon, Atlas, and Aurora. This created confusion in the hop trade as this implies the hop is Fuggle based and it is not.

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.
