Difference between Hallertau & Hallertuer?

[ToddO]

Brewing Ed Worts Bavarian and just realized that the hops I asked for - Hallertau are in fact Hallertauer. Probably spelling that wrong as well..

Any difference? Im too far deep into this Hefe to change now but just curious. I'm really a hophead but this is my first Hefe so I am not familiar at all with these hops. Any info appreciated..

Thanks-

No, it's the same. The "-er" suffix in German means "from", as in Hamburger, Munchener, Frankfurter, "ich bin ein Berliner".

The Hallertau hops and Hallertauer hops are the same. Another identical and hop with similar names is Tettnang and tettnanger

Nice, thanks for the quick reply. Just tripped out a little after punching my numbers into Hopville and notied they have two separate listings.

Hallertau is a region in Germany where they grow hops. Hallertauer is something that comes from Hallertau. So basically, same difference.

Here is a good explanation of hop variety nomenclature:

That sucks. But I assume you are just being an assholer .

Is that a noble variety?

LOL! I was the other way around. (though a little research, figured there wasn't much a diff, if any)

Its just 'spices' in cooking. Plenty of substitutions and 'close enoughs', said the newbie
