Millennium (US)
Millennium is a high alpha acids variety bred in the John I. Haas, Inc., breeding program and released in the year 2000. With Nugget as the mother, this triploid variety exhibits the same powdery mildew resistance as Nugget. It produces well in both Washington and Oregon with yields of approximately 2200-2600 lbs/acre. Its brewing profile is comparable to that of Nugget and Columbus-type varieties. |

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 ASBC spectrophotometric (Hops 6) in the USA. Alpha Acids for extracts are determined by HPLC (Hops 14) in the USA. ** Storage is percent remaining after 6 months at room temperature.  | |
