Ultra-Clean Bittering • Smooth & Neutral • The Brewer's Foundation HopMagnum is the gold standard for clean bittering — a German-bred, high-alpha hop prized for delivering smooth, neutral bitterness that never gets in the way of your other ingredients. Where character hops bring personality, Magnum brings discipline: firm, polished bitterness with virtually no flavor footprint.With alpha acids of 12%, a small charge of Magnum goes a long way, making it one of the most economical and most widely used bittering hops in both homebrewing and commercial craft brewing.Flavor & Aroma Profile Exceptionally clean, smooth bitterness Neutral, low-impact aroma Faint floral hints Whisper of subtle fruit No harsh or vegetal edges At any reasonable rate, Magnum stays out of the spotlight — that is precisely its job. It builds the bitterness backbone and lets your aroma hops, malt, or yeast define the beer's character.Brewing ApplicationsMagnum is a staple bittering ingredient across nearly every style, including: American IPA German Pils Pale Ale Stout and Porter Lagers of all kinds Belgian Ales It is also the default choice when a recipe needs IBUs without any hop flavor commentary — from delicate lagers to fruit beers.Usage RecommendationsFor a 5-gallon batch, 0.25–1 oz at 60 minutes covers everything from a lightly bittered lager to a firmly bittered IPA.
