Indie Hops Strata® is Now Available in Strata® HyperBoost®
Indie Hops' second own developed variety, Strata® is a real show-stopper. Launched in 2018 and storming the scene, Strata® takes its name from the multiple layers of flavour it brings to beer. It can hit hard in a DIPA, or sit smoothly in a low gravity pale.
Expect aromas of passionfruit, melon, strawberry, grapefruit, rock concert cannabis and dried chilli peppers. Hard to resist.
Indie Hops Strata® HyperBoost® is a concentrated hop oil extract with minimal alpha and beta acid content, produced using an innovative CO₂ extraction method by Yakima Chief Hops. Use Strata® Hyperboost® in whirlpool, knock-out, and dry-hopping - with best results in cold-side applications. Combine Indie Hops Strata® Hyberboost® with Indie Hops Strata T90 Pellets to improve efficiency and increase survivable hop oils.
Indie Hops Strata® Hyperboost® has stable, low-temperature flowability which allows for easy application during cold-side brewing, including knockout and dry hopping.
How To Brew With Strata® HyperBoost™
Strata® HyperBoost® is formulated for straightforward dosing during cold-side fermentation, delivering a high level of hop character in the finished beer. It may also be used in the whirlpool. Substituting HyperBoost™ for Indie Hops Strata® T90 Pellets can help improve overall beer yield.
Strata® HyperBoost® is designed to easily pour into the fermenter as a cold side addition, adding an intense saturation of hop flavour to your finished beer. Most brewers choose to use HyperBoost® as a fermenter addition, but it can also be added to the whirlpool. Using HyperBoost™ in place of traditional pellets can increase finished beer yield. This product is not suitable for kettle additions, for early kettle additions and bittering application you can check out Indie Hops Strata® T90 Pellets here
Post Boil/Whirlpool Additions:
When used in the whirlpool, HyperBoost™ can substitute for pellet hops at levels of up to 100%. A starting guideline is to replace T90 pellet additions at a rate of 50:1, with 20g of Strata® HyperBoost™ in place of 1 kg of T90 pellets. Final usage rates may be adjusted based on beer style and desired hop expression.
Knock Out/Dry Hop
Trials indicate that the best place to add HyperBoost™ is at the start of fermentation. Dosing during knockout or the first two days of fermentation ensures the HyperBoost® is well incorporated into the beer, and that the survivable compounds are fully dissolved. The initial recommendation is you should start by replacing 25-50% of the T90 dose with Hyperboost®, to get a sense of how the flavours express in your beer. Indie Hops recommends a replacement rate of 100:1 HyperBoost™ to T90 pellets by weight (ie 10 g HyperBoost™ in place of 1 kg T90).
Indie Hops on Strata® Hyperboost™
Jim Solberg, Indie Hops Co-founder & CEO:
“Collaboration is a big deal between craft brewers and can be a good thing between hop suppliers as well. We’re stoked to be collaborating with YCH to pair our standout variety Strata with their exciting new cold-side flowable HyperBoost®. It’s good for us, good for YCH, and great for brewers!”
“There is a dizzying number of hop oil extracts in the market now. One key factor that attracted us to YCH HyperBoost® for our variety Strata is that HyperBoost is derived solely from hops. Real hops grown by real people for brewers to excite customers who really like hoppy beer.”
Indie Hops Strata® is also available in T90 Pellets and CGX® Cryogenic Lupulin Pellets.
