Very good high alpha hop that will be mainly used for bittering in british ales.
Dual purpose. For aroma and bittering.
Very good high alpha hop that will be mainly used as a replacement for Target in extracts and pellets where bitterness value is the main consideration. Not as harsh as Target in terms of quality of bitterness and has a very pleasant hoppy character.
Similar hops are First Gold, Target & Bramling Cross. Contact us for advice on substitutions as it varies with availability and what you wish to achieve from the hops.
Bred at HRI Wye to increase the range of UK high alpha varieties. Released commercially in 1996.
Admiral is a high yielding, high alpha variety that matures mid-season and so complements Target in terms of the picking regime. It grows vigorously, producing small, compact cones, which pick well on the machine. It has a question mark over it in terms of Wilt tolerance and is susceptible to powdery mildew, however it is resistant to downy mildew.

Never let me down. Fantastic service, extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Brilliant during lockdown ( and before). Drive from
North Nottinghamshire to Derbyshire every time rather than buy on internet, well worth it. Thanks guys.Rob -the Chardonnay man (13 Apr 2021, 20:44)

Ordered my umpteenth order yesterday morning and just over 24hours later my order is brewing nicely. Thank you for such brilliant service.Jay Bancroft (23 Aug 2023, 10:37)
I have been a customer for around 4 years now. I have always be satisfied with the service, delivery and quality. If I need help a human answers the phone and solves the issue. Even during the pandemic they supplied, limited stock sometimes, but notified me when back in stock. During my time the prices have gone up, where haven’t they? But the increased percentage is less than most essential good!Graham (10 May 2024, 16:31)
