Morgan’s Finishing Hops El Dorado (12 g) is a pre-measured hop addition designed to add intense aroma and flavour to your homebrew with minimal effort. The hops are packed in an easy-to-use sachet, so you can steep them like a tea to extract hop oils and aromatics without the mess of loose pellets.
Hop Variety: El Dorado
El Dorado is a modern American hop known for its bold, fruity character. When used as a finishing hop or in late additions, it contributes:
-
Tropical fruit notes (e.g., pineapple, mango)
-
Citrus character (often orange or grapefruit)
-
Stone fruit hints (like peach or apricot)
-
Slight candy or juicy undertones
El Dorado typically has fairly high alpha acids but shines most in aroma and flavour roles rather than heavy bittering — especially when used late in the boil or for dry hopping.
How to Use
To use Morgan’s El Dorado finishing hops:
-
Steep the sachet in hot water (about 10 minutes) to extract the hop oils.
-
Add the infused liquid (and sack if you choose) to your wort during the late boil, whirlpool, or into the fermenter for dry-hop aroma.
This method gives you big hop character with easy cleanup.
Best For
El Dorado finishing hops work particularly well in:
-
IPAs and NEIPAs
-
American Pale Ales
-
Fruit-forward hoppy beers
-
Any beer where strong aroma and juicy fruit character is desired
