Challenger hops are an excellent all round hop which is often blended with a more aromatic variety to produce some exceptional English Bitters. As the main copper hop it provides a refreshing, full bodied, rounded bitterness and as the late addition it can give a very crisp, fruity character which has proved very popular in many beers.

These top brewing industry quality hop pellets are supplied in a heavy duty resealable pouch with a tamper proof seal to preserve their freshness and quality.

Hop pellets are destalked ground hops pressed into little pellets. Use about 10% less than you would when using leaf hops with a similar alpha level. Hop pellets can be preserved longer and are usually available for a longer period of time during the course of the season.
