Comet T-90 (Bitterness)
α-acid: 8-10.5%
(Hops are agricultural crops, the α value of each batch will be slightly different, the pictures and data are for reference only.)
A cross between English Sunshine and a native American wild hop, the Comet hop was bred by the USDA in 1974 to meet the need for a higher alpha producing hop. Though commercial production has slowed in recent years, it offers a unique flavor that is best suited to American Ales. With an alpha acid range of about 9.4% to 12.4%, Comet hops offer a substantial bittering quality paired with a distinctly American grassy and citrus aroma. Bittering your American style brew with Comet hops can be objectionable to some, but when done properly the result is one of a kind. Galena and Summit both offer a more readily available substitute to Comet when necessary.
Aroma : Wild American, Citrus, Grapefruit.
*28g small packages of hops are all filled with nitrogen, in addition to prolonged storage, it also avoids excessive squeezing during transportation.
*If it is not used immediately, it is recommended to freeze or store the hops at a low temperature.
