Fuggle Hops - French Grown T-90 Pellets
Fuggle hops for earthy, woody, classic ale character
Current lot: French-grown Fuggle T-90 pellets at 2.2% alpha acid. Our usual UK-grown Fuggle is temporarily unavailable, so this listing has been updated for the French-grown lot currently in stock.
Fuggle is a classic aroma hop associated with English brewing. This French-grown lot stays in the same traditional lane: earthy, woody, floral, and grassy rather than bright, fruity, or resin-heavy. Use it when the recipe needs restrained hop character that supports malt and yeast instead of taking over the beer.

How to use this Fuggle lot
Use the 2.2% alpha acid value when calculating bitterness. If your recipe was built around a higher-alpha UK Fuggle lot, recalculate the hop charge before brewing; this French-grown batch will need more weight to produce the same IBUs.
For aroma and late-hop character, add Fuggle in the last 10-15 minutes of the boil, at flameout, or as a restrained dry hop when earthy and floral notes fit the beer. For broader recipe planning, browse our pellet hops, hops for brewing, and brewing grains.
