Magnum Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Magnum is a high-alpha hop variety widely used for bittering in both commercial and homebrewing recipes. It is valued for its ability to deliver strong bitterness without harshness, allowing brewers to maintain balance in their beers.

Brewers often describe Magnum hops as producing smooth bitterness with subtle herbal, grassy, and light citrus notes. Because its aroma profile is relatively mild, Magnum is most commonly used as a bittering hop while other hop varieties provide flavor and aroma additions.

Magnum performs especially well in early boil additions where its high alpha acid content provides efficient bittering while maintaining a clean finish.

Magnum hops are commonly used as a universal bittering hop in a wide range of beer styles due to their clean bitterness and reliable performance.

Ideal for:

• Pilsner
• IPA
• Bock
• Porter
• Stout

Magnum pairs well with aroma hops such as Cascade, Citra, Centennial, and Hallertau when brewing balanced beer recipes.

• Add early in the boil for clean, efficient bittering
• Use as a base bittering hop paired with aroma hops later in the boil
• Combine with flavor hops during whirlpool additions for layered hop character
• Store sealed in the freezer to maintain hop freshness and oils

Magnum hops are often used as the primary bittering hop in recipes where brewers want smooth bitterness without overwhelming aroma.
