Description

Sterling's pedigree includes Saaz, Cascade, Brewers Gold, Early Green and other European varieties. It was developed in 1998 as a replacement for Saaz with a higher alpha value and improved disease resistance and good stroge quality.

'Sterling' is used for both: bittering and flavouring hops. Although 'Sterling' is mainly used for its delightful, pleasant flavours, 'Sterling's alpha acidity can also make an important contribution in the brew kettle. It is a good choice for hop-emphasised lagers, Belgian ales and other continental styles.

Aroma and flavour characteristics:
Moderate and pleasantly "hoppy" flavour. Excellent herbal quality, reminiscent of Saaz, with nuances of candied citrus, sweet grass, light spices and dried hay.

Ripening time: Early

Alpha acidity: 6.0 - 9.0 %
Beta acidity: 4.0 - 6.0 %
Co-humulone as % of alpha acids: 22 - 28
Total oils: 1.3 - 1.9 ml / 100 gr.

Hop-String

This hop string can be used to provide a climbing aid for the hops.
The hop shoots wrap tightly around the climbing aid and can not slip off due to the rough surface.
This cord is about 5mm thick and 100% jute. For this reason, it can be cut and composted in the fall along with the hop vine.

'Mandarina Bavaria'

Variety with a pleasant fruity aroma with a particularly pronounced note of tangerine - in addition it has hints of citrus.

'Saphir'

The plant shows a lot of more benefits: a lot of small humbels from top to buttom and high resistance against known deseases and pests. This is a big advantage to old varieties!
