Spalt Select Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Spalt Select is one of the four classic German noble hop varieties, cultivated for centuries in the Spalt region of Bavaria. It is one of the oldest named hop varieties in the world and remains essential to traditional German brewing.

Brewers often describe Spalt hops as producing refined earthy spice, herbal character, and mild floral notes with a smooth, clean bitterness. This elegant hop profile makes it ideal for lagers and traditional ales where hop aroma should complement malt character with subtle complexity.

Spalt Select performs especially well in late boil additions and whirlpool hopping where its noble hop aromatics can add refined character to clean, well-balanced beers.

Spalt Select hops are used in traditional German and European brewing where classic noble hop character and smooth bitterness are desired.

Ideal for:

• German Lager
• German Pilsner
• Kölsch
• Altbier
• Bock

Spalt Select pairs well with other noble hops such as Saaz, Hallertau Mittelfrüh, and Tettnang when brewing traditional German and European beer styles.

• Add early in the boil for smooth mild bitterness
• Use late boil additions to enhance earthy and spicy hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to develop noble hop aroma
• Use small dry hop additions for subtle aromatic complexity
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve freshness and hop oils

Spalt Select completes the set of four classic noble hops alongside Saaz, Hallertau Mittelfrüh, and Tettnang for authentic German brewing.
