Homebrew Hops Database

This Homebrew Hops Database breaks down 175 homebrew hop varieties, including substitutions based on bitterness, aroma, and more.

I have had numerous occasions where I wanted to consider a substitute hop, and was curious what hop varieties were best. I knew things like alpha acid, hops for aroma vs. bitterness, etc. were important considerations. That sent me down this proverbial rabbit hole to build this database.

I had a recipe for a Belgian amber ale that called for Tettnanger hops, but I had 1.5 ounces of Hallertauer Mittelfrüh pellet hops in my freezer. I ended up using our AI Beer Recipe Generator and specified it utilize the hops I had. The recipe turned out awesome. You can view it here.

Of course, as with anything regarding homebrewing, there are some variables. Hop substitutions are based primarily on similar aroma and flavor profiles, with consideration for alpha acid content and traditional brewing applications. Substitutes are approximate, not exact replacements. When substituting for bittering, adjust the quantity based on the alpha acid (AA%) of the hops being used.

I have included American, British, German, Czech, other European, Australian, and New Zealand varieties, along with newer popular craft brewing hops.

TIP: This database is best viewed in landscape mode on mobile. You can use the search function to look up any hop variety. We have listed 20 of the most popular homebrew hop varieties first, but you can change the sort feature at any time by clicking on one of the header columns.
