What is a Hop? α β % w/w Alpha acids Beta acids Hop oils Polyphenols Hop polyphenols Lipids and waxes Water, Cellulose etc. Alpha acid Beta acid % w/w Alpha acids Beta acids Hop oils Polyphenols Waxes and steroids Proteins Cellulose moisture Monosaccharides Pectin's Minerals (Ash) 2 - 18 1 - 10 0.5 - 3 2 - 5 tr - 25 15 40 - 50 6 - 10 2 10 Bitterness Hop Aroma Differentiation of beer types and brands Foam Enhancement Microbiological Stability Contribution to body & mouthfeel of a beer Improvement of haze and flavour stability

Trouble Brewing? Hops are a natural product so vary Prone to oxidation Need to be cold store, bulky Process in brewing uses all hop components- cant adjust bittering or aroma independently Dry hopping losses Capacity issues Cost in use.

Hop Products Extracts of hop cones/pellets Lower bulk Flavour and aroma consistency Increased stability Increased utilisation Lower cost in use But do they compromise on “quality”

Benefits of the Hop Inspiration Range Independent addition of aroma and flavour Added post fermentation hence no loss onto yeast in fermentation, no loss by CO2 evolution Consistent quality, independent of crop variation Don’t affect haze or foam stability Light stable, no pesticide residue carry-over, no nitrates. Easy to use, reproducible. Single wort stream – differentiating 100% utilisation Beer development reduced – quicker, unique Can be pasteurised without loss of flavour Economics Supply

Example- Beer Flavour and Consistency Use HopShot or HopSensation into beer style Add post fermentation Dose to beer style: lager10gram/hl, IPA 30gram/hl Standardised addition. No haze, no polyphenol Reproducible beer flavour, independent of hop crop and variation in variety

Example Dry Hop Losses Use HopBurst Post Fermentation addition Dose rate likely 15-30gram/hl Replace dry hop step No beer loss thro adsorption (10-20%) No infection. No oxygen. No long steep time Aroma and Flavour more consistent

Example- Beer Festival Use HopShot, HopBurst, HopPlus Addition post fermentation Use existing wort stream and differentiate Reduced development time. Increased ability to design and test combinations. Flexibility Cost savings.

Example - Capacity Bought fixed assets, finite brewing capacity. Use of Hop products reduces bulky hop in kettle or dry hop vessel. Can add ore beer to vessel as more space 1lt of HopInspiration will add aroma or flavour to 6000-8000lts beer.
