Released in 1972, the Cascade was the first commercially accepted American bred aroma hop and is now well established in the US. It is one of the most popular hop for craft brewing and great for dry hopping. The Cascade is a cross between the Fuggle and the Russian hop Serebrianka. The compact medium sized cone has a slight square shape to it and has a moderate amount of yellow lupulin. The lupulin develops in tight balls in the cone, which makes it a unique variety. It is good for picking, drying and baling.

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.
