{"product_id":"hop-pellets-centennial","title":"Hop Pellets Centennial","description":"\u003cp\u003eCentennial is often called a super Cascade, a US hop with the same citrus-floral DNA but louder and more intense. It is a dual-purpose pellet with medium-high alpha, at home bittering and adding a punchy lemon-citrus aroma to American ales.\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\u003eWest Coast IPA and double IPA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmerican amber and red ale\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBarley wine\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 Centennial, 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 9-11.5%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBeta acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e typically 3.5-4.5%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCo-humulone:\u003c\/strong\u003e typically 28-30% of alpha\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTotal oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e typically 1.5-2.5 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e lemon, citrus, floral, light pine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen to choose this over alternatives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose Centennial when Cascade is not loud enough. It carries the same grapefruit-and-flowers character with a sharper lemon-citrus edge and enough alpha to handle bittering as well. It is a cornerstone of the classic West Coast IPA, especially blended with Chinook for pine and Cascade for a rounder citrus base. If you want fruitier, more tropical notes instead, reach for Citra or Amarillo.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCentennial earns its keep across the boil. Use it early for clean bittering, or in the whirlpool and dry hop for that bright lemon-citrus punch. For an American IPA, 30 to 60g of dry hops works well. It is a great hop to build a recipe around and blends cleanly with other US C-hops. Store cold and sealed, push the air out, and use within 12 months of opening for the freshest 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":41994990190669,"sku":"22202","price":7.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":43196846080077,"sku":"22041","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":43196846112845,"sku":"22003","price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/hop-pellets-centennial.jpg?v=1785220470","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/hop-pellets-centennial","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
