It has been used for centuries in traditional German lagers and is known for its refined floral, spicy, and herbal character with a light earthy quality. While it lacks the big tropical fruit of modern hops, it brings a balanced, elegant profile that has made it a cornerstone of German brewing for generations.\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 3 – 5.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Oil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 – 1.0 mL\/100g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\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 Spalt, Tettnang, or Saaz (in some recipes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hopsteiner.us\/variety-data-sheets\/Hallertauer-Mittelfrueh\/\" 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 Hallertau Mittelfrüh is primarily an aroma hop, though it can contribute some bitterness in lighter beers. It performs best in late boil and whirlpool additions, where it adds its signature floral, spicy, and herbal notes. Because it’s relatively delicate, it shines in traditional lager styles (especially German Pilsner, Helles, and Oktoberfest\/Märzen) where its refined character can come through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eUncommon to dry hop. Adding 1–2.5 oz total in 5 gallons is usually plenty to dry hop. It doesn’t need heavy rates, and going too hard can make the herbal and earthy notes feel rough or grassy. It tends to work best with a lighter touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eBrew day tip: It’s the go-to hop for authentic German lagers. It can also add nice floral and spicy complexity to more modern beers when used alongside fruitier hops.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42576002154581,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/doubledank.beer\/products\/hallertau-mittelfruh-hops","provider":"Double Dank Brewing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
