WHAT IS AMPLIFIRE™ FRESH HOP OIL?
Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil is our water-soluble liquid dry hop or brite tank addition product. The product is designed to boost flavour and aroma as well as beer yields and is super easy to use. It is also a great product for hop water.
Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil is produced in New Zealand making it a more environmentally responsible product. It is extracted from whole hop cones on the same day they were harvested. From bine to bottle in one epic day! The whole hop cones are processed into oil from ‘wet’ hops, meaning straight off the hop plant without any drying or pelletising. You can’t get any fresher than that!
The extraction process does not use any solvents. Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil is free of bittering components.

BREWERS' GUIDE TO USING AMPLIFIRE™ FRESH HOP OIL
Always shake the bottle well before using.
For dry hopping or brite tank addition:
-
Amplifire™ Oil can be used alongside hop pellets during the dry hopping stage to partially replace hop pellet doses without sacrificing beer body and mouthfeel.
-
It can also be dosed straight into the brite tank.
-
Dose the oil into 2-3 litres of your brew and agitate to disperse before dosing into the tank. Alternatively, disperse in warm (not hot) water first.
-
Dose prior to carbonating to avoid any potential impact on head retention.
Dosing rates:
Dosing rates will vary according to brewer preference, brewery and beer style. As a starting point, we suggest trying the following.
As further guidance, 100ml of Amplifire™ Oil is equivalent to using around 5 kgs of T90 hop pellets.
-
-
Always shake the bottle well before using.
-
Depending on the desired level of hoppiness, we recommend a dose rate of 3-15ml per hectolitre of water.
-
We recommend dosing the product into 2-3 litres of water and agitating to ensure it is fully dispersed, prior to dosing into the tank. Alternatively, add the product to warm (not hot) water to fully disperse before adding into the tank.
-
Unopened bottles can be stored at ambient temperature out of direct sunlight. We do, however, recommend storing at a cool, stable temperature, ideally in a cool store.
For opened bottles, ensure oxygen is purged from the bottle with C02 following use then cool store.
