HOP ACID PRODUCTS

Clean, Consistent Bitterness That Can Be Dialed In

Our distinctive hop acid products are built on decades of experience in analyzing and measuring hop acid concentration and understanding how bitterness differences are interpreted by the senses. With bitterness profiles ranging from light to intense and everything between, we have acid solutions that meet your exacting standards. If you are looking for more than bittering, our acids offer a host of other benefits, like foam stabilization and light stability.

For truly distinctive beers, we offer blends of our different hop extracts—sometimes customized for specific applications. Hop Acid Blends can achieve a balance of bitterness attributes, foam enhancement and light stability if desired. Our Hop Acid Blends are added post-fermentation.
Unique to the industry, Hexalone advanced hop acid is produced from beta acids for very good solubility with a creamy hop flavor profile and a mouth-forward bitterness. It is light stable, enhances beer foam and cling and is dosed post-fermentation.
With improved bitter-flavor stability over traditional bitter hopping, Isolone is made from hop alpha acids that are converted into iso-alpha acids in a proprietary process that results in greater purity.
Isolone can be added either at the brew kettle or post-fermentation.
For a hop profile that is well-rounded & moderate, Reduced Isolone is made from alpha acids into di-hydro alpha acids (rho) and produces light-stable bitterness for 60-80% of the bitterness of iso-alpha acids. It can be added to the brew kettle or post-fermentation.
If a more intense hop profile is what you’re after, our proprietary Tetralone products provide 50-70% more bitterness than iso-alpha acids, making for a sharp bitterness at the back of the tongue. Tetralone is light stable and can be added post-fermentation or into the fermenter.
