Tettnanger Hop Pellets 41g - Traditional German Noble Aroma Hop
Tettnanger hop pellets are a classic German noble hop with a refined, delicate aroma profile that has been a cornerstone of European lager and ale brewing for centuries. Originating from the Tettnang region of Baden-Württemberg in southern Germany — one of the most celebrated hop-growing areas in the world — Tettnanger is the quintessential fine aroma hop for brewers who want authentic German character in the glass.
What defines Tettnanger is its elegant combination of fine spice, fresh herbs, and subtle earthiness, with a gentle floral note and a soft, clean bitterness that integrates seamlessly into the delicate malt profiles of lagers and traditional ales. Its low alpha acid content of around 2.9% makes it unsuitable as a primary bittering hop, but as a late addition, whirlpool, or finishing hop, Tettnanger delivers a nuanced aromatic complexity that no high-alpha substitute can convincingly replicate. This is a hop that rewards restraint — a small addition in the right place at the right time is all it takes.
Supplied in a practical 41g pack, Tettnanger is sized for the addition rates that its low alpha content and delicate character call for — ideal for a single late-boil or finishing addition in a 20-litre homebrew batch.
