Tillicum (US)
Tillicum is a high alpha acids variety with a very high content of beta acids. The variety was developed through the John I. Haas, Inc., breeding program and released in 1995. It is a daughter of Galena and a full sister to Chelan and therefore has analytical data similar to both varieties. Tillicum differs from Chelan by its early harvest maturity and is the earliest ripening high alpha acids variety in the U. S. |

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.  | |
