WHAT ARE AMPLIFIRE™ CONCENTRATED LUPULIN PELLETS?
Our Amplifire™ Pellets are designed to boost flavour and aroma as well as beer yields.
Clayton Hops is the proud operator of the first and currently only cryogenic concentrated lupulin pellet processing facility in the Southern Hemisphere.
This investment is testament to Clayton Hops’ efforts to meet brewer creativity and produce cutting edge new hop products in a more environmentally sustainable manner.
Our unique patent-pending process separates whole hop cones into lupulin and plant material at extremely low temperature in a nitrogen-rich/low oxygen environment which limits oxidisation to enhance quality. The lupulin, which contains the sought after resins (bitterness) and oils (flavour and aroma), is then pelletised to produce a super-powerful product – up to twice as intense in resins and oils as a T-90 hop pellet.
BOOST FLAVOUR & AROMA
A higher concentration of lupulin to plant material enhances flavour and aroma
INCREASE BEER YIELD
Less plant material means less beer loss in your fermenters
INCREASE REVENUE
More beer means more revenue
REALISE SHIPPING & STORAGE EFFICIENCES
A concentrated product means a reduced footprint for transit and storage
REDUCE WASTE
A concentrated product also means less packaging waste in your brewery
REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Being grown and made in New Zealand our product is more environmentally sustainable
REDUCE HOP CREEP
Monosaccharides and enzymes found in hop bract are believed to contribute to hop creep, so reducing plant material lessens the potential
