Hopsteiner adds Helios™ to its Salvo™ product line

Helios Salvo™ is now available from Hopsteiner as a flavor enhancing kettle extract. Helios Salvo™ delivers impactful variety specific flavor and aroma as a fractionated form of CO₂ hop extract. Alpha-acids have been removed to explicitly enhance aroma with little to no added bitterness and since Salvo™ contains no vegetative matter, there is more room left in the tank for more beer yields.

“I can generally knock-out an extra 1/4 to 1/2 barrel per batch, which, when you’re doing 10 turns a week, really does add up.” – Brendan Barber, Von Ebert Brewing Co.

Advantages:

• Boost aroma/flavor
• No bitterness
• No added vegetative matter
• Trials have shown to extends shelf-life in most applications

Usage:

• Salvo™ is best used as a late kettle/whirlpool addition to partially replace leaf or pellet hops. Recommended to add late in the boil period or when filling whirlpool
• Liquify extract by warming the can and pour contents into kettle/whirlpool
• Best homogenization can be achieved by a strong mixing flow during early portion of cast out to whirlpool or by adding 5-10 minutes prior to the end of boil
• When calculating dosage, start with 10 grams oil / bbl.

“We use [Salvo] in the whirlpool and that really helps us get a lot of nice aroma and great mouthfeel in our finished beers without having to send a tremendous amount of hop material into the whirlpool. We’re a big fan.” – Jim Cibak, Revolution Brewing Co.
