Enhanced Hop Flavor Made from 100% Hops

Salvo™ is uniquely made from 100 percent hops, meaning no additives are in Salvo™ other than what is already in hops. Salvo™ is made via CO₂ hop extract where soft resins within pelletized hops are separated from plant material and then further processed to remove alpha acids. The result is a potent mix of highly concentrated essential oils and beta acids.

Breweries large and small have found immediate success with Salvo™, improving the quality and quantity of their brews.

“We get a lot of deep, resinous hop character. You don’t extract any real IBUs from it; you just get beautiful terpene notes,” says Von Ebert’s brewer, Brendan Barber. Barber also attests to the yield gains, “I can generally knock out an extra quarter to half barrel per batch, which, when you’re doing 10 turns a week, really does add up.”

Brewmaster Jim Cibak has been with Revolution Brewing from Day One. “We are focused on brewing IPAs, and we like to extract as much clean, beautiful, fragrant aroma from our hops as we can,” says Cibak. “You want as much impact as possible, but you want to keep that trub pile small because in the end, more wort going to the fermentor means more finished beer. We use Salvo™ in the whirlpool, and that really helps us get a lot of nice aroma and great mouthfeel in our finished beers without having to send a tremendous amount of hop material into the whirlpool. We’re a big fan.”

Crystal Lake Brewing has incorporated Salvo™ into several beers including their Slalom King Rye IPA: “It has a huge hop charge in it, and as a result, we had great losses,” says brewmaster Ryan Clooney. But with Salvo™ in place of pellets, it’s “a night-and-day game changer. Salvo adds immense flavor and quality. It’s yielded us over 2.5 barrels more volume, and as a midrange brewery, every ounce counts for us.”

Salvo™ is all hop, just not all the hop. Simply put, Salvo™ is an all-natural hop extract designed to deliver concentrated hop flavor and aroma without adding bitterness. Through carbon dioxide extraction, soft resins within pelletized hops are separated from the plant material (bract). This CO₂ extract is further processed, removing the alpha-acid fraction, leaving behind a concentrated mix of beta acids and essential oils.

While extracts can be a point of contention for some brewing purists, rest assured that Salvo™ is still pure hop. The original aroma-holding hydrocarbons and essential oils are still there, as are the hop’s native, bacteria-fighting beta acids. Nothing has been added. Salvo™ is just the next evolution in advanced brewing products, optimized and void of any vegetal matter. And that’s the point: natural hop flavor with no wasted space.

How to Use Salvo™

Salvo™ is best used as a late-kettle/whirlpool addition to partially replace leaf or pellet hops. Add late in the boil or when filling the whirlpool for best results. When you’re calculating dosage, start with 10 grams oil/barrel.

• Step 1: Liquify extract by warming the can.
• Step 2: Open the can.
• Step 3: Pour contents into the kettle/whirlpool.

Salvo™ is truly variety specific and uniquely made from 100 percent hops. Current pricing for Salvo™ ranges between $50 and $200 per kilo and is typically dosed at one kilo per 10 to 20 barrels, depending on variety. Salvo™ is available in popular public and proprietary varieties here: Shop Salvo.
