Complements hop additions during the boil
-
In conjunction with the HopfenGabe during the boil, hop additions in the whirlpool create a more intense hop aroma.
-
Harmoniously complements bitterness with aromatic notes.
Ideal combination with dry hopping
-
Dry hopping accentuates the most volatile hop aromas most easily perceived by scent.
-
Whirlpool hopping can create a balance between hop aroma and dry hopping.
-
This way, perception of hop aroma in the nose and mouth can be harmonized.
Reduction in wort losses
-
The increase in volume of the hop pellets added to the whirlpool account for a considerable amount of wort loss.
-
Simultaneously, the amount of hops that can be added to the whirlpool while still allowing for separation of solids is limited.
-
The HopBack Pellet solves both
problems.
-
Hop trub pending wort losses can be reduced by up to 80% while maintaining maximum variability in the amount of hops used and without affecting
solids-separation.
-
Wort losses can be reduced significant!
Intensive extraction
-
Aroma extraction is achieved more intensely in the HopBack Pellet than in the whirlpool thanks to optimized flow through the pellets.
-
Defined aroma recovery
-
Alpha-acids are also washed out along with the hop oils.
-
Due to the immediate cooling of the wort after leaving the HopBack Pellet, significantly less iso-alpha-acids are created compared to whirlpool hop additions, creating
delicate aromas without harsh bitterness.
-
Aroma volatiles do not evaporate due to closed system.
Flexible use
-
HopBack Pellet can also be used
for orange peel, coriander, or other aromatic flavorings.
-
Complete solid particle retention
-
Because of the filtering of solid hop particles in the HopBack Pellet, no solids find their way into the wort cooler.
-
Positive impact on heat transfer as well as the reduction in wort cooler CIP downtime
- Wort after HopBack Pellet can can be returned to Whirlpool to achieve higher isomerization. Hop solids are retained and
reduce trub load in Whirlpool.
