difference between US and German Tettnanger?

(1/1)

redzim:
Looking to order another years supply of hop pellets today, found out both North Country (at least in Champlain NY) and HopsDirect are out of German Tetts (at least in 1 pounders).  So I orders the US Tetts from HopsDirect (grown right at their farm apparently).  Will I be able to even tell the difference? I can't imagine I'll notice it, but just want to make sure.  I mostly use Tetts as a flavor or aroma hop, in Vienna lagers, Alts, a Jever-style Pils (sometimes Hallertauer Mittlefruh in that one), Bocks, etc.

thanks

denny:
I have heard that US Tetts are derived from Fuggles, which is a very different hop.

There must have been a poor crop in the Tettnanger region, which is down by the Bodensee. I have not found the whole Tetts by the pound at my usual sources. Did find some in pellet form.

Hope there is a better crop this year.
