Magnum Hops Pellets - 1 oz.

High Alpha Bittering Hop for Balanced Bitterness and Subtle Aroma

Magnum T90 hops pellets are a popular choice among brewers for their high alpha acids, typically ranging from 12% to 16%, making them an ideal bittering hop. Originally bred in Germany, Magnum hops are known for their clean, smooth bitterness, which is perfect for a wide variety of beer styles. This hop variety is widely used in lagers, pilsners, pale ales, and IPAs, where a neutral and balanced bitterness is desired without overpowering other flavors.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

While Magnum is primarily used for bittering, it also imparts subtle flavors and aromas that can enhance your beer's overall profile. You might notice delicate hints of spice, fruit, and floral notes, which blend seamlessly with other hops or malt characteristics in your brew. Magnum’s clean bitterness allows it to play a supportive role, allowing other ingredients to shine, whether in hop-forward ales or malt-driven lagers.

Typical Usage

Magnum T90 hops pellets are versatile and can be used in various stages of brewing, although they are most commonly added during the early stages of the boil to extract their bittering qualities. Due to their high alpha acid content, you can achieve your desired bitterness levels with relatively low quantities, making them an economical choice for both homebrewers and commercial brewers alike.

Magnum is also valued for its low cohumulone content, which contributes to its smooth, non-harsh bitterness, making it an excellent choice for creating well-balanced beers that appeal to a wide audience.
