Pelleted hop powder from seeded Wye Northdown hops of the 1976 crop shows small losses in lead conductance value (LCV) when stored in commercial packs for ca . 12 months after processing. The losses for hop pellets stored at ambient temperature are slightly more rapid than for those stored at 0 to 4°C. Losses in LCV of pellets during storage in the cold or at ambient temperature are substantially less than those of seeded Wye Northdown cone hops stored in pockets under comparable conditions. The hop pellets showed no significant loss in oil content or bittering potential over the storage period. Taste panels were unable to detect differences in flavour when comparisons were made of beers bittered with pellets stored in the cold and at ambient temperature.
