Pacifica Amplifire™ hops (New Zealand)

Product detailed description

Pacifica is an aromatic hop that is usually only used in late boil additions, including dry hopping. It has a characteristic aroma that includes citrus orange peel marmalade with floral notes.

The Amplifire process separates whole hop cones into lupulin and plant material at extremely low temperatures in a nitrogen-rich, oxygen-poor environment, which limits oxidation and enhances quality. The lupulin, which contains sought-after resins (bitterness) and oils (flavor and aroma), is then pelletized, resulting in a super strong product - up to twice the intensity of resins and oils compared to T-90 hop pellets.

A Brewer’s Guide to Using Amplifire™ Concentrated Hop Pellets

You can use Amplifire™ pellets anywhere you normally use whole hop cones or T-90 pellets:

• For late addition to the brew kettle for better retention of volatile aromas
• In the whirlpool
• During fermentation
• For cold hopping after fermentation

If you are creating a new recipe, Amplifire™ pellets can replace 40-50% of the weight of T-90 hop pellets.

Amplifire™ pellets work great with T-90 pellets, adding a strong hop character, nice body, and full mouthfeel to the beer.
