{"product_id":"hop-pellets-hallertau","title":"Hop Pellets Hallertau","description":"\u003cp\u003eHallertau, the classic German noble hop from the Hallertau region (typically Hallertau Mittelfrueh), is the benchmark aroma hop for continental lagers.

It is floral and gently herbal, a little rounder and less peppery than Czech Saaz, and more delicate than a modern high-alpha hop. If a continental lager recipe just says noble hops, Hallertau is the most traditional German pick. For more bittering in a lager, use a clean high-alpha hop like Magnum for the bittering charge and keep Hallertau for flavour and aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the alpha is low, you need more Hallertau to reach a given bitterness, so do not be surprised by larger weights in a lager recipe. It is happiest in mid-to-late boil and flameout additions where the delicate aroma survives, and traditional lagers use several additions across the boil. Store cold and sealed; low-alpha hops fade faster, so use it fresh for the best 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":41994991861837,"sku":"22217","price":7.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":43196846604365,"sku":"22046","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":43196846637133,"sku":"22110","price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/hop-pellets-hallertau.jpg?v=1785220566","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/hop-pellets-hallertau","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
