Dry hopping – An old process with modern technology
Dry-hopping system | The concept of adding an additional hop charge in the cold process to enhance a beer’s aroma is nearly as old as the use of hops in brewing itself. For hop-forward beer styles, dry hopping plays a major role in determining aroma intensity, perceived freshness, and sensory differentiation. The current trend towards non-alcoholic beers is another potential reason to incorporate dry hopping into the production process. It can give these often relatively subtle beers a refreshing and distinctive hop character. The development of the HopGun Pro by BrauKon was guided by continuous feedback from real-world applications, most notably from BrauKon’s in-house brewery, Camba Bavaria, where the system has been used and tested under practical operating conditions.
