Hop Oil Type HOPTANICAL

Appearance

Type HOPTANICAL is a nearly colorless to light green, transparent or slightly turbid liquid.

Flavor

Depending on the quantity added and the type of beer and beverage, Type HOPTANICAL can pronounce the spicy hop aroma in combination with non-hop related citrusy, fruity, herbal and spice-like flavors. Type HOPTANICAL has little influence on the sensory bitterness of beer and beverage. During beer aging the aroma components of Type HOPTANICAL remain stable and contribute to overall flavor stability.

Utilization

Type HOPTANICAL contains linalool with an excellent recovery rate, which can be close to 100 %. The non-hop based natural aroma is transferred in a high yield to finally pronounce the overall flavor.

Quality

All Hopsteiner® products are processed in facilities which fulfill internationally recognized quality standards. A monitoring system for residues is in place.

Our products are delivered in their respective recommended standard packaging. Alternatives may be possible upon customer request.
Standard packages of our processing plants in the USA (US) and Germany (DE) are:

• Aluminum bottles 0.5 and 1.0 kg (DE)

The product is supplied as a dilution in a blend of propylene glycol and ethanol.

Dosage

The quantity to be used is determined by the brewer and depends on the time and point of the addition. The hop oil dosage should be based on ml of supplied product per hl of beer or beverage. The typical dosing range for beer is 5 – 20 ml / hl. This range is intended for orientation only; actual additions will depend on the impression and intensity of the aroma desired. Trials performed by injecting the product into bottled beer or beverage with a microliter syringe are helpful for determining the quantity of Type HOPTANICAL required.

Application

Shake the packaging well before use. Type HOPTANICAL can be added at different stages on the cold side of beer production, typically prior to filtration. For the highest possible yield, a direct addition into the beer or beverage stream prior to filtration is recommended. This enables the Type HOPTANICAL to dissolve in the beer or beverage without changing its flavor.
