Where hops like Chinook or Pride of Ringwood add their own character to the bittering charge, Magnum stays clean and neutral, letting your aroma hops do all the talking. It is the smart bittering base under delicate noble hops like Saaz, Hallertau and Hersbrucker, and equally useful under a big tropical hazy so you can spend your Galaxy and Citra late where they count.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePractical notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMagnum is almost always used as a single early bittering addition, typically at 60 minutes. Because the alpha is high, a small weight delivers a lot of clean bitterness, which makes it economical. There is little point using it late, as it brings very little aroma. It is a great pantry staple to keep alongside your aroma hops. Store cold and sealed, and use within 12 months of opening.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReviewed by the AHB Brewing Team - June 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian Home Brewing","offers":[{"title":"25g","offer_id":41994992123981,"sku":"22221","price":7.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50g","offer_id":43196846735437,"sku":"22059","price":12.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":43196846768205,"sku":"22009","price":17.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/hop-pellets-magnum.jpg?v=1785220611","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/hop-pellets-magnum","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
