Apollo™ (US) Hop Pellets
This American hop was bred for a high acid content and was originally cultivated in 2000. The high alpha acid range of about 15% to 19% makes Apollo™ hops a perfect bittering agent in any style of beer, especially IPAs. It also gives off both earthy and citrusy aromas during the boil that add a wonderful touch of flavor to your bitter brew. Because of their strength the use of Apollo™ pellet hops allows you to add less bittering hops overall. That can be an advantage for certain brewing systems where you want to reduce vegetal matter in the boil.
The very high alpha, good storage stability & low cohumulone ratio make Apollo an excellent choice for bittering. Added late into the boil it provides a strong grapefruit and hoppy note.
Alpha Acid: 15 - 19%
Typically used in American ales, lagers, and IPAs. A close substitute is CTZ or Columbus
