The Perle hop was bred in Germany at the Hop Research Center and made available here in the states in the 1980's.  One variety used as a parent bred was the Northern Brewer.  This is a well rounded dual purpose hop.  Very popular with the craft brewers.

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.
