Usa Tettnanger Aa 3% Similar To Fuggles

[clean brewer]

Hello all,

Since I recently aqquired a supply of USA Tettnanger Hops, I did a little bit of research to find that they come out actually very similar to Fuggles... Is that correct??

I could be very wrong but my understanding is tettnanger = floral/ citrus and is appropriate for lagers, wheats and maybe some pilsners.

Fuggles is for English ales, stouts and porters.

I can't imagine one would be a substitute for another.

I need to start making some single hop beers to pretend I know what I'm talking about but a recent lager flavoured and aroma hopped with tettnanger (and hallertau and sterling) and a just bottled wheat beer with late tettnagner hopping both had a very nice orange flavour (and aroma in the wheat).

But this is German Tettnang you are referring to. A hop's characteristics change a lot depending on the growing region. Perhaps the US variety is more like fuggles...? I have never tried them, so I can't say. But I agree, German Tettnang is certainly not a substitute for UK Fuggles, but maybe US Tettnang is?

Maybe. As I said - I could be very wrong.

It would be nice though, if region makes such a difference (and I understand it does) that different names should be given. Otherwise just call it all 'hops' and take your chances.

I totally agree. It seems crazy that the same names are used across continents, when the flavours and characteristics of those hops are so different. Good to see NZ are changing some of their traditionally named hops to something more unique.

I used hops in my last brew.


And malt.

I made what I call 'beer'.

The info I found on the US Tettnanger was that it had pretty much the same chemical compounds in it as fuggles...

I've certainly read on US forums that US Tettnang is quite like Fuggles. OTOH, if Hopunion says they are different, I'm prepared to believe they are. Link. Sounds like you might be ok. :icon_cheers:

What..alpha acids, beta acids and co-humulones!!
Serously, there is some evidence to suggest that US Tettnang is in fact another one of Mr Fuggles progeny, crossed with something else (Saaz ot Tettnang Tettnanger perhaps). Fuggles gets around a bit, Stryian Goldings are just Fuggles grown in Slovenia.
