Features & Benefits

Product Features

Due to the higher yield, isomerized pellets are used for bitterness as a substitute for raw hops, pellets or Extract more efficient. The production takes place by heating stabilized pellets to about 50 ° C, these The temperature is maintained for 1 to 2 weeks. The α-acids present are almost completely isomerized Iso-α-acids, which results in a significantly improved yield when added to the brewhouse. Isomerized Hop pellets can replace and offer existing conventional α-hop products for bitterness economic advantages through higher yields

PROCEDURE SPECIFICATIONS

Isomerized hop pellets are made by heating stabilized pellets (mixture of hop powder with small amounts of magnesium oxide) at around 50 ° C for around two weeks.

Applications & Uses

Food & Nutrition Applications
Product Application

Isomerized pellets can be used as a substitute for raw hops or type 90 hop pellets in wort boilingFind. A yield increase of up to 50% compared to raw hops or pellets can be expected become. Since most of the α-acids are already present as iso-α-acids, the yield is almost very high reached regardless of the time of addition. Although by adding isomerized pellets late during the Wort boiling a good yield can be achieved, the hop aroma of the beer is also influenced. We therefore recommend isomerized pellets for bitterness at the beginning of the wort boiling and conventional type 90- or add Type 45 pellets as flavoring at a later point in time.

Safety & Health

Safety

A breathing mask should be used if dust is generated. Isomerized hop pellets are flammable Material. For more information, please refer to the relevant safety data sheet (SDS).

Packaging & Availability

Packaging

The isomerized pellets are in bags made of a composite film (with an aluminum layer as a diffusion barrier) packed up. The pellets can be vacuum packed (hard pack) or packed as soft pack with an inert gas atmosphere become. The film materials used comply with the provisions of Foodstuff Ordinance. The film sizes available are between 2.5 and 140 kg

Storage & Handling

Storage And Shelf Life

Isomerized hop pellets should be stored cool between 0 - 5 ° C and within 3 years or when stored at –20 ° C can be used up within 5 years of manufacture. Opened slides should be because of the occurring degradation reactions of the bitter acids and oil components are used up within a few days.
