Nectaron Hop Pellets T90

Pineapple and passion fruit first, then peach and a squeeze of grapefruit. Nectaron is seventeen years of New Zealand breeding poured into one very tropical hop.

Alpha 10.5–12 % · Beta 4.5–5 % · Late hop & dry hop · T90 pellets · Crop 2025 · 100 g

What it does in your beer

Expect intense tropical fruit — pineapple, passion fruit and peach — with a grapefruit citrus edge and stone fruit behind. The grower describes it as delivering a consistent dose of tropical hop character.

It is at its best in late additions and the dry hop. Lagers, pale ales, IPAs and NEIPAs are all listed styles, which makes it one of the more flexible fruit bombs on the shelf.

What 10 g does in 20 L

Approx., Tinseth formula, OG 1.050, mid alpha 11.2 %. Recalculate with the alpha on your pack.

How to use

• Kettle: hold it back for the final (third) addition or the whirlpool.
• Dry hop: the second recommended use.
• Mind the alpha: at 10.5–12 %, 10 g still adds about 3 IBU at 5 minutes and about 6 IBU at 15 minutes in 20 L.
• Leftover pellets: squeeze the pack flat, seal it and chill it.
