NZH-104 is a triploid selection crossed in 2009 through our partnership programme with Plant & Food Research.

New experimental hops that we’ve seen used in great number of beers over the years by breweries such as Siren Craft and Verdant. So when the opportunity arose to purchase a limited amount for the home brew community we couldn’t resist.

Attributes

Stone Fruit, Pine,  Tropical Fruit

Breeding

NZH-104’s male parent has been used extensively in Plant & Food Research crosses as it produces high performing (female) progeny. NZH-104 is derived from a cross of a New Zealand bred tetraploid mother which has both North American and European ancestry.

Brewing

NZH-104 has shown sweet stone and tropical fruit characters, along with pine notes. Pale Ales and IPA’s would benefit from this hop.

Applications

A versatile hop that can be used as a single hop addition and has great synergies in combination with other hops. Pairs well with Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Riwaka.

We contract and source our hops from the finest merchants and farms around the world, ensuring you get the chance to brew with the same high quality product that professional breweries use.

Using mylar bags which prevent light degradation of the hops, flushing the bags with nitrogen to remove oxygen and cold storage of them until ordered by you, ensures the hops are as fresh as possible.
