Akoya 2024 100g Hop Pellets

Akoya is a hop variety that was developed by the Hop Breeding Company in Germany. It is a dual-purpose hop, meaning it is used for bitterness and aroma in beer recipes. Akoya is known for its light and floral aroma, with hints of green tea and pepper. It has a high oil content, which contributes to the complex aroma profile. Akoya is best used in lagers, especially Helles styles, or to give a modern twist to a classic Pilsner.

Vintage: 2024
Alpha acid content: 9.5%
Package size: 100 grams

Packaging:
The hops are gently weighed, nitrogen flushed and sealed in light-tight aluminum-coated packaging for optimal shelf life.
Flushing with nitrogen displaces oxygen that would otherwise degrade the quality of the hops. This method lowers the oxygen content in the bag to 0.6-0.8% oxygen which is very good for preserving quality/taste/aroma. The hop bag is stored cool at <4 degrees Celsius.

The opened bag is squeezed together and closed with a ziplock for further storage in the refrigerator.
