Bohemie Hops: Profile & Substitutions

Description

Bohemie was bred by Hop Research Institute in Žatec, Czechia with heritage of Sladek mother and unknown variety derived from Saaz.

Released in 2010 with a goal of providing "noble" characteristics while increasing yield, concentrating oil profile, and increasing disease resistance. Even though it is tougher than Saaz in wet/humid climates it needs a watchful eye.

Considered more of an aroma hop based on noble heritage, it carries bolder aromatics compared to Saaz with higher alpha acid content that allows it to be used for bittering.

Substitution Tip

If you can't find Bohemie, the best alternatives are Saaz, Sladek, or Sterling.

  • 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.
