In this free video course supported by Yakima Chief Hops, Paul Schneider, cofounder and head brewer of Pittsburgh’s Cinderlands Beer, details their flavor-focused approach to R&D and taking full advantage of advanced hop products.
Small-scale bench trials are an invaluable way for brewers to test new ingredients, including hop varieties and advanced hop products. In the case of a product like HyperBoost, bench trials can help you dial in usage rate and the point in the production process where you would most like to add it—for example, in the whirlpool, at dry hop, or to the finished product. However, keep in mind that full-scale batches won't smell or taste exactly the same as a bench-trial sample, so you may need to adjust. Carbonation can really boost aroma in the finished product, so it’s important to lock in that process—gently, under pressure, with no venting.
