Dose Rate

Advantages of Amplifire
- Clean and intense flavour and aroma: Cleaner and more intense hop flavour (due to higher levels of acids and oils) with lower undesirable green, grassy and astringent flavours (due to less plant material), compared to T90s
- High efficiency: Because of their potency, brewers can use circa. half the amount (by weight) to achieve the same level of flavour, aroma and bitterness as T90s
- Increase beer yield and revenue: Brewing with less plant material, compared to T90s, can increase beer yields and revenue (For every kg of T90s, you could be losing 8-10L of beer)
- Better for dry hopping: Reduced risk of clogging equipment due to fewer solids and less product to lug around, compared to T90s
- Pairs well with other products: Works well with T90s and other products, such as Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil, for layering complexity
- 'True-to-variety': True-to-variety flavour and aroma profile
- Pure New Zealand product: Both grown and made by us in New Zealand, and carrying the FernMark seal of provenance from the New Zealand government
- Lower carbon footprint product: Lower carbon footprint compared to T90s (as more concentrated). Made locally in New Zealand — no shipping of hop material around the world for third party processing
- Less brewing waste: Less plant material, so less brewing waste
- Shipping and storage efficiencies: Occupies considerably less space than the equivalent amount of T90s, which reduces shipping and storage footprint and costs
- Reduced packaging waste: Higher product concentration means less is needed, which results in lower packaging waste (foils and cartons)
- Reduced hop creep: Monosaccharides and enzymes found in hop bract contribute to hop creep, so reducing plant material less plant material in Amplifire™ Pellets than in T90S lessens the potential for hop creep
