Beer Making
These varieties have high apha acid levels and are best used in small quantities in the copper for the production of beers with a low bitterness. Their low aromas require them to be used with other, more flavourful hops for the best results.

Galena
from £4.70
Galena (USA) - Alpha Acid 13.0 - 14.0%
Galena is now by far the widest grown hop in America. It is a heavy cropper and has good resistance to disease. Brewing tests have revealed a Bullion-like flavour and Galena can be used as a replacement for this variety, which is now almost extinct.
