HopPlus®
A ready-made combination of hop oils and fruit or botanical extracts.
Caution
The stated values are indicative. Hop oils cannot be converted to pellets using a simple kilogram-to-millilitre ratio. The result is affected by the base beer, the original hopping, the timing of application, temperature, mixing intensity and the desired product character. Every new application should therefore first be confirmed on samples and only then scaled up to the full tank.
HopPlus®
A ready-made combination of hop oils and fruit or botanical extracts. It lets you create fruit-oriented beers and mixed drinks without fruit preparation and without adding fermentable sugars.
Use in: Fruit and botanical profiles
Key benefits
- fruit and mixed drinks without fruit preparation
- no fermentable sugars
How to use
HopPlus® is generally added after fermentation, ideally while transferring to the bright tank. It can also be used for dosing into a finished beverage base. After application, the product must be mixed in evenly and then evaluated by sensory testing. Because it contains no fermentable sugars, it does not affect the product's degree of fermentation in that way — the final labelling and composition of the drink must, however, still be assessed against the specific recipe and applicable regulations.
Manufacturer’s guideline dosing
For a gentler fruit profile, starting at around 10 ml/hl is recommended; light drinks and radlers typically need 10–20 ml/hl, while bold fruited IPAs and RTDs need roughly 30–40 ml/hl.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended starting dose (gentler profile) | roughly 10 ml/hl |
| Light drinks and radlers | 10–20 ml/hl |
| Bold fruited IPA and RTD | 30–40 ml/hl |
When to use HopPlus®
- for fruit and flavoured beers
- when making radlers and beer mixes
- for mixed drinks and RTDs
- when working with purée, concentrate or fresh fruit is undesirable
- when the resulting profile needs to be easily repeatable
- when developing several flavours from one base drink
Recommendation
For 1,000 litres (10 hl) of Mango IPA at a dose of 30 ml/hl: 30 ml/hl × 10 hl = 300 ml of HopPlus® Mango IPA. Before full-scale application, it is worth comparing several doses, for example 10, 20 and 30 ml/hl.
