Called everything from Spalter to German Spalt, Spalter Spaut, and even Spalt Spalt, its no secret these hops hail from the German city of the same name. Spalt hops are a naturally occurring varietal used primarily for their wide range of aromatics.
With an alpha acid content between 2.5% and 5.5% and similar beta acidic content, this hop is rarely used as a bittering addition. What you will get is the lush fragrance of floral, fruity, and spicy notes often used in Pilsners and German style Lagers. Spalt is also a great option for dry hopping, and brings out a wonderful hoppy flavor. Possible substitutions for German Spalt hops include Saaz, Daughter Spalter Select, or Tettnanger.
All hops are packaged in oxygen, light and moisture barrier bags.
