Canadian Redvine Hops: Profile & Substitutions

Description

Canadian Redvine is a vigorous hop that is believde to have originated in Canada. The vigor of the plant allowed and the density/thickness of the rhizome allowed it to spread quickly. High cohumulone and low alpha acid concentrations have become the kiss of death with Canadian Redvine not being widely used.

Substitution Tip

If you can't find Canadian Redvine, the best alternatives are Cascade, Galena, Magnum, or Newport.
