Introduction to Dry Hopping
Dry hopping is a brewing technique used to enhance the aroma and flavor of beer by adding hops after the wort has cooled. This method is particularly popular in beer styles like IPAs and pale ales, where a strong hoppy flavor is desired. The essential oils in hops, which contribute to flavor and aroma, are preserved through dry hopping as they are not exposed to high temperatures.

ZIP HopMaster Overview
The ZIP HopMaster is a high-quality dry hopping system designed for ease of use, minimizing contamination and oxygenation risks, and optimizing contact time for maximum extraction rates. It can be integrated at various stages of the brewing process, including the whirlpool, fermentation tanks, or filling line.

Equipment Features
  • Equipped with a magnetic mixer and filter basket to reduce oxygen uptake and minimize fiber entry into the beer.
  • Constructed from stainless steel (304) with a brushed and polished outer surface.
  • Compatible with hop pellets, leaf hops, fruits, and other flavorings.
  • Hygienic construction using quality raw materials and TIG welding technology.
  • Large contact area for effective use of hop flowers and pellets.
  • Polished inner surfaces and welds meet food-grade standards.
  • Load capacity: up to 5 kg of leaves, 6 kg of pellets.
  • 50 mm PU foam insulation.
  • Maximized essential oil extraction rate and reduced extraction time due to the magnetic mixer.
  • Easy cleaning and CIP with multiple built-in cleaning heads.

Technical Specifications
  • Volume: 150 liters gross.
  • Height: 1285 mm.
  • Operating pressure: 1.5 bar.
  • Material: Stainless steel (304).
  • Insulation: 50 mm PU foam.

Fittings
  • Glass manhole on top.

ZIP Dry Hopping Equipment- Hopmaster-2

Dry hopping is a technique used in brewing, with some hops added after the wort has been cooled to increase the aroma and flavor of the product. Some beer styles, like IPAs and pale ales have strong hoppy flavors. Most of the flavor and aroma compounds in the hops are essential oils, but these boil off easily at high temperatures. Using dry hopping allows these essential compounds to remain in the finished product and contribute to the desired flavor and aroma. Dry hopping is a flavoring technique used by craft brewers, but there aren’t many commercially available, specifically designed dry hoppers...

HOPMASTER Dry Hopping Equipment with magnetic mixer and filter basket The equipment is made to use in a fermentation cellar and can be connected to the fermentation vessels after the primary fermentation or to BBTs after the beer is filtered. The operation principle of the system results in reduced oxygen uptake and the damaging effects involved are minimized. Due to the filter basket, only small amounts of fiber enters the beer. The flow of beer between the fermentation vessel and the dry hopping equipment is achieved with the use of over-pressure. HopMaster is recommended to dry hop or flavour...
