The Magnum originated at the German Hop Research Institute Huell in Germany.  The pedigrees are Galena and the German male hop Nr. 75/5/3.  The Magnum has gained acceptance as a clean bittering hop for all Ales and Lagers.  Mostly grown in Germany but limited acreage can be found in US.  This is a variety free of all 5 major viruses, resistant to verticillium wilt and can be susceptible to powdery mildew. 

 

All hops are removed from the vine, cleaned and dried in the dryer.  In the dryer the hops are layered 2'-3' deep and hot air is forced through the floor for 8-12 hours until they are dried down to 8-10% moisture.  From the drying room they are transported by conveyors to the baling floor where the hops cool for up to 24 hrs before they are baled.  We are offering these varieties in 7 lb and 15lb bales. These custom bales are easy and convenient to handle. Hops are put into a high quality Mylar bag, filled with nitrogen, and then vacuum sealed. We leave some extra bag material so once it is cut it may be resealed. Most varieties will be shipped in 2-3 weeks.
