{"product_id":"hop-pellets-amarillo","title":"Hop Pellets Amarillo","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmarillo is a hugely popular US hop with a bright orange, grapefruit and floral character and a hint of peach. It is a moderate-to-high alpha, dual-purpose pellet that brings a smooth citrus aroma to American ales and blends beautifully with other C-hops.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBest suited to\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmerican pale ale\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmerican IPA and West Coast IPA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHazy IPA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmber and red ales\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDry-hopped ales\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTypical specs (vary by harvest, check the pack)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eVariety \/ origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Amarillo, United States\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e T-90 pellets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePurpose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual purpose\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAlpha acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e typically 8-11%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBeta acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e typically 6-7%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCo-humulone:\u003c\/strong\u003e typically 21-24% of alpha\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTotal oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e typically 1.5-2 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e orange, grapefruit, floral, peach\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to choose this over alternatives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose Amarillo when you want a sweeter orange-citrus note than Cascade or Centennial deliver. It sits in the same American citrus-floral family but leans towards orange and a soft peach, which makes it a lovely rounding hop in a blend. Pair it with Citra to lift the tropical fruit, with Simcoe to add pine and depth, or with Cascade for a classic, easy-drinking American pale ale. It is smooth enough to run single-hopped too.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmarillo is genuinely dual purpose. The moderate-to-high alpha bitters cleanly, and its orange-citrus aroma shines in the whirlpool and dry hop. For a pale ale or IPA, 30 to 50g of dry hops works well. It is a friendly, forgiving hop that stays smooth even at higher rates. Store cold and sealed, push the air out, and use within 12 months of opening for the freshest citrus aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReviewed by the AHB Brewing Team - June 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian Home Brewing","offers":[{"title":"25g","offer_id":41994995040333,"sku":"22243","price":7.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":43196846145613,"sku":"22108","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":43196846178381,"sku":"22109","price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/hop-pellets-amarillo.jpg?v=1785220428","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/hop-pellets-amarillo","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
