ADVANCED HOP PRODUCTS

Turn up the flavour volume and brew more efficiently and sustainably with our Amplifire™ innovation range.

BEHEMOTH BREWING,
NEW ZEALAND

"Clayton's Amplifire™ hop pellets add a huge amount of flavour and aroma without the harshness of the vegetal parts of the hops. Their investment here in NZ in the sophisticated technology and equipment needed to make Amplifire™ hop pellets is a game-changer for the NZ hop industry. We also really like that this is part of Clayton's initiative to reduce product carbon footprint."

AMPLIFIRE™ CONCENTRATED PELLETS

ROCKY RIDGE BREWING,
AUSTRALIA

"We've used Amplifire™ hop oil either as a mid-ferment addition or as a brite tank addition. We find with the mid-ferment addition it plays really, really nicely with the T90 hop pellets or enriched hop pellets that we use in there. It really adds an excellent depth of flavour. If we add it in the brite tank post-centrifuge it just gives a massive top note and it's just like pure, liquid hop. People absolutely love it."

AMPLIFIRE™ FRESH HOP OIL

SUSTAINABILITY

We are working closely with BX to measure and improve the sustainability of our farms, processing and hop products.

As well as being important to us as farmers and land custodians, we recognise that supply chain carbon footprint is becoming increasingly important to many brewers not only due to their own values but the values of the people who consume their beer.
