Studies have shown that on extended storage of up to 90 weeks at ambient temperature pockets of Yeoman hops lose α‐acids less rapidly than do the other varieties of English hops which are rich in resins. As expected the rate of loss of α‐acids is further reduced when Yeoman hops are stored in the cold. Pelletised powders made from Yeoman hops show excellent storage characteristics when commercial packs are kept for 12 months either at ambient temperature or in the cold.
