Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) has launched HyperBoost. Previously known as YCH 701 Trial, HyperBoost is the latest innovation to come out of YCH’s Research and Development Program.
Designed to easily pour in the fermenter as a dry-hop addition, HyperBoost “excels at amplifying hop aroma and increasing final beer yield”. It can be used anywhere pellets are normally used, including cold-side applications.
Technical marketing manager Tessa Schilaty also runs FWD, a new program by YCH and Yakima Chief Ranches (YCR) that engages brewery partners in trialing innovative products.
The inaugural cohort of 68 breweries located across 21 different countries received HyperBoost as their first trial product.
“It’s been thoroughly battle-tested by our brewing partners. The positive feedback confirms that we have achieved something exceptional,” said Schilaty of her direct work with brewers trialing HyperBoost in different applications.
She added: “HyperBoost is one of the most exciting product launches that I’ve worked on. It fills such an important need in the industry right now – a product that can increase beer yield and improve flavour.”
Concentrated at 40-70% oil through an inventive supercritical CO2 extraction technique, HyperBoost™ delivers a high concentration of survivable compounds in variety-specific aroma attributes. Currently, HyperBoost is ready to ship in 100g and 1kg aluminum bottles in Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, and more.
Dosing will vary by process, equipment, and desired outcome. Most brewers are using HyperBoost in the fermenter as an active or post-fermentation dry hop addition, but it can also be used in the whirlpool, the company said.
