Salvo

Appearance

Salvo is a yellow-brown, semisolid or moderately viscous paste.

Flavor

Salvo provides kettle hop character when added during wort boiling. Late kettle additions impart a typical “late hop” aroma to the finished beer. The flavor depends on the variety, quantity and time of addition. For further information, please refer to the hop variety data sheets. Small quantities of residual iso-alpha and alpha acids will hardly contribute to beer bitterness.

Utilization

The utilization will vary from brewery to brewery due to differences in equipment and process conditions, such as dosing point.

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:

• Cans 0.5 - 4.0 kg (US)
• Cans 0.5 - 3.1 kg (DE)
• Pail 4 - 20 kg (US)
• Drum 200 kg (US / DE)

Salvo is typically added to the kettle to achieve a characteristic hop aroma. An early addition aids in suppressing foam formation at the beginning of wort boiling. Good recovery of aroma substances can be achieved when added late to the boil or into the whirlpool.

Dosage

Actual dosage of Salvo will depend on the extract analysis (hop oil content), the time of the addition and the desired intensity of hop aroma.

Example: (hop oil content of 15 %)
Add 13.4 g/hl Salvo towards the end of the boiling. This corresponds to a hop oil addition of 2.0 g/hl.

Application

Pre-warming cans of Salvo is not necessary. Suspending punctured cans in the boiling wort will ensure that all of the extract is completely flushed out into the kettle.
If Salvo is added by means of automatic dosing units, it should be warmed to 75 °C (167 °F) and gently mixed to ensure perfect dosing.

Storage

The recommended storage temperature in the original unopened packaging is  < 10 °C (50 °F).

Short-term, transport-related temperature deviations do not affect product quality.

Best Before Date

Under the recommended storage conditions, the shelf life from the date of production/ packaging is at least 6 years.
