Hop Cannon

The Hop Cannon is a highly versatile piece of equipment, allowing for a wide variety of botanical and raw material infusions beyond the traditional use of hops in brewing. This innovative system opens up endless possibilities for infusion, enabling brewers to experiment with various ingredients to create unique and complex flavors in their final product.

For instance, the Hop Cannon can be used to recirculate product over coffee beans, significantly enhancing the contact time between the liquid and the beans. This results in a richer extraction of coffee flavors while dramatically reducing the typical extraction time from days to mere hours. This method allows for precise control over flavor development, helping brewers achieve the desired intensity and balance of coffee notes in their beverages.

The system is also ideal for adding fruit purees and juices into the brewing process. With the Hop Cannon, fruit purees can be easily added into the cannon, purged of oxygen, and then transferred directly into the fermentation vessel. This not only simplifies the blending process but also ensures that the fruit is seamlessly integrated into the brew, without the need for additional manual handling or complex procedures.

Some additional key benefits of the Hop Cannon include:

- Prominent aroma enhancement: The infusion process, especially with hops, results in a noticeable increase in hop aroma in the final product, making it ideal for producing aromatic beers like IPAs. The system ensures that delicate volatile oils are preserved and transferred efficiently into the brew, leading to a more vibrant and pronounced aroma.

- Increase in product yield: By maximizing the efficiency of ingredient use, the Hop Cannon helps increase the final product volume. This is especially beneficial for breweries looking to get the most out of their raw materials while keeping waste to a minimum.

- Reduced contact time: The Hop Cannon dramatically cuts down infusion times, reducing the time required from days to just a few hours. This allows brewers to speed up production without compromising the quality of flavor and aroma extraction, leading to more efficient brewing operations.

- Real-time monitoring of aroma and flavor: Brewers can monitor the development of aroma and flavor in real time, providing precise control over the infusion process. This ensures that the final product meets the brewer’s exact specifications and allows for immediate adjustments to optimize the flavor profile.

- Improved taste stability: The use of the Hop Cannon contributes to the overall stability of the taste, ensuring that the flavors remain consistent and intact throughout the product’s shelf life. This helps breweries maintain the high quality of their beverages over time.

- Prolonged filtration runs: One of the major advantages of the Hop Cannon is the ability to remove hop matter during the infusion process, which helps prolong filtration runs. By reducing the amount of particulate matter in the brew, the system reduces the strain on filtration equipment, resulting in fewer clogs and longer filter life.

- Fully CIP (Clean-In-Place) ready: The Hop Cannon is designed to integrate seamlessly into a brewery’s cleaning processes. Its full CIP readiness ensures that it can be cleaned efficiently between uses, minimizing downtime and maintaining high standards of hygiene in the production process.
