Nate and Heather Jackson, first-generation hop growers, were submitting experimental varieties to Sierra Nevada for evaluation in 2015. One of the samples stood out for its bright tropical character - mango, pineapple, tangerine, and red berry notes - and ended up being the seventh one they really liked. That’s how it got the name Idaho 7 (it was originally nicknamed “007: The Golden Hop\" - a far better name).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlpha Acids:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 – 14%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.0 – 3.0 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States (Idaho)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pellet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Substitutions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citra or Mosaic (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimachief.com\/commercial\/hop-varieties\/idaho-7.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMore tech specs here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePractical Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIdaho 7 works well for both bittering and aroma, but it really shines in late boil, whirlpool, and dry hopping.
