Hop: Orbit™

Description

Orbit™ is a New Zealand hop blend, selected from the "Hops with a Difference" breeding program. The blend changes every year with hops that are selected for their unique aroma and flavor characteristics.

The blend, from Plant & Food Research, is made to be used as an aroma and flavor addition but typically has a pleasant bitterness as well. The ever changing nature of the blend means that the hop acids and oils change from year to year.

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.
