Importing Azacca Hops To Beersmith: A Step-By-Step Guide

Azacca hops, named after the Haitian god of agriculture, are a dual-purpose hop that can be used in all hop additions throughout the brewing process. It is known for its intensely refreshing aroma, with notes of mango, papaya, orange, grapefruit, lemon, pine, spice, pineapple, grass, and other tropical fruits and citrus. Azacca is a patented variety and is not available to the public, but it can be purchased from various suppliers and is likely available at your local homebrew supply shop. It is also available in lupulin powder form, which is suggested to be used at half the amount of pellets.
