We find using 1 ounce in five gallons provides a nice generic bitterness for a variety of beer styles. ,Hop Statistics:,Alpha Acids: 8.0 – 10.0%,Beta Acids: 3.0 – 5.0%,Alpha-Beta Ratio: 1.6 - 3.33,Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 20 – 30%,Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.5 – 2.0,Storage(% alpha acids remaining after 6 months storage at 68° F): 70 – 85%,Similar Hop Varieties: Chinook, Magnum, Galena
