Admiral
Bred at Wye College to complement the variety Target. Admiral is used for it's bittering potential and displays a typical English aroma. It grows vigorously, producing small compact cones. Its tolerance to wilt is similar to Progress, but the storage stability of its alpha is considerably better than Target. In early brewing trials, this variety has shown itself to be a good replacement for both high alpha and dual-purpose hops when used as a kettle hop. |

The
analytical values are typical for each variety at harvest time but
values can vary among crop years, growing areas, growers, and with
aging after harvest. * Alpha Acids are determined by conductometric titration (EBC 7.4) in Europe. Alpha Acids for extracts are determined by HPLC (EBC 7.7 )in Europe. ** Storage is percent transformation after 6 months at room temperature.
