Rakau NZ Hops – 100g

A 100g pack of New Zealand Rakau hops, known for stone-fruit and citrus character with underlying grassy and spicy notes.

How to use Rakau

Rakau works as a dual-purpose hop in pale ales, IPAs and double IPAs, from kettle additions through to dry hopping. Peach and tangerine character becomes especially useful in aroma-focused additions. Check the alpha-acid figure printed on the current pack and adjust bittering calculations for your recipe.
