Enhance your homebrewing experience with these premium Challenger hop pellets. A signature variety of the English brewing tradition, Challenger is a granddaughter of Northern Brewer with some Northdown in its lineage as well, released in 1972 by Wye College. Sourced from the finest hop farms, these high-quality pellets are perfect for adding a touch of traditional English bitterness and aromatic character to your craft beers.
Perfect as a standalone hop or part of a blend, Challenger excels for boiler, hop back, and cask additions. Right at home in any English ale formulation, it has also found application in some west coast-style American IPAs. Mild to moderately intense spice with elements of evergreen and ripe fruit, it adds a bright, grassy character as a dry hop. Blends well with earthy or floral varieties and has consistent alpha acid content for reliable bittering. Achieve a smooth and clean bitterness in your brew by adding Challenger hops early in the boil, or for a more pronounced aroma and flavor, consider late boil additions or dry hopping.
These Challenger hop pellets come sealed in a convenient 1oz bag, ensuring freshness and preserving the hop's aromatic oils until the moment you're ready to brew. Perfect for amateur and professional homebrewers alike. Elevate your brewing game with the distinct qualities of Challenger hops. Order your 1oz bag now and craft beers with character!
