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

7. 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.

8. 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”

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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.

17. 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 lts beer.
