Teamaker is a revolutionary variety from the United States Department of Agriculture that completely flips the script on hop breeding. While most hops are judged by their bittering power, Teamaker was engineered for the exact opposite mission: high antimicrobial potency with virtually zero bitterness. Bred from a global genetic pool including Fuggle (31.25%), Late Grape, and Late Cluster, it was originally intended for the pharmaceutical and herbal tea industries.
Because its alpha acids often measure below 1.0%, Teamaker is essentially "non-bittering." This unique chemical makeup has made it a "secret weapon" in the craft beer world. It allows brewers to load up on hop-derived health benefits and floral oils without moving the IBU needle. Whether you are crafting a "Hop Water" or a medicinal herbal ale, Teamaker provides the soul of the hop plant without the sting of the lupulin.
If you can't find Teamaker, the best alternative is Crystal.
