Pellets made from powdered Wye Target hops lost both α‐acids and essential oil appreciably less rapidly than did cone hops during storage at ambient temperature for up to 2 years. Pelleting Wye Target hops is more effective than cold storage of cone hops in minimising losses of α‐acids and maintaining brewing value. There are differences in the rate of loss of α‐acids from pellets obtained when hops from a single growth of Wye Target hops were processed by four different processors. Cold storage of pellets from two processors resulted in a loss of just 5% of their initial α‐acids after 27 months.
