Riwaka™ is now available as an Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil from Clayton Hops™ in New Zealand, a farm–fresh liquid hop flavour and aroma product designed to enhance the taste of beer. Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil has no bitterness, and is a highly flowable liquid at cool, warm, and room temperatures, as well as being beer and water soluable. It is designed mostly for cold side additions, but can be used hot side in the whirlpool. Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil can also boost yields by reducing waste and beer loss and improving brewhouse efficiency, and is exceptionally cost-effective.
Amplifire Fresh Hop Oils are hop variety specific flavour and aroma products grown and made in New Zealand, produced using a patent-pending process developed by Clayton Hops™ to extract oil from fresh hops on the same day they are harvested.
Substitution Rate: When substituting for T90 Hop Pellets, Clayton Hops™ recommends a 50:1 pellet to oil replacement ratio - ie 100ml of Amplifire Oil delivers the same punch as 5kg of T90 Pellets.
Carbon Footprint: As a weighted average across all hop varieties, Clayton Hops™ Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil - independently measured by BX of London - has a carbon footprint of 0.47 kg CO₂e, or, for benchmarking purposes, 0.35 kg CO₂e (composting emissions are typically not mentioned in industry benchmarks).
Adds beautiful unique top notes and complexity into beers. Brighter, cleaner (no vegetal matter) and more consistent.
Imparts no bitterness
With less vegetal matter, Amplifire™ pellets reduce wort absorption, helping you retain more beer in the fermenter.
Higher Yield, Higher Profit
Substitute some hop pellets for oil at whirlpool and/or dry hopping to increase beer yields and revenue (For every kg of T90s, you could be losing 8-10L of beer).
Easy to Use
Flowable liquid at cool, room and warm temperatures - and it's both beer and water soluable. Use in whirlpool, fermenter, or brite tank. Amplifire Oil works nicely alongside T90 Pellets too!
Easy to Trial
You can benchtop trial with one or two drops of Amplifire Fresh Hop Oil and 150ml of beer.
Minimises Waste
100% absorbed into your beer. Fast filtration, and does not stick to equipment.
No Hop Creep
Free of hop-creep inducing monosaccharides and enzymes
Light stable
Does not cause light-struck off-flavours
Faster, Fresher, Better
Unlike competitor products, Amplifire Fresh Hop oil is made from fresh, undried whole hop cones processed less than 24 hours after harvest, delivering vivid, true-to-variety aromas.
Riwaka™ is also available as a T90 pellet and Amplifire™ Cryogenic Concentrated Hop Pellets from Clayton Hops™.
