Dry hopping

Alfa Laval provides solutions for effective dry or cold hopping – the process of adding hops to the beer after primary fermentation. In releasing essential oils from hops, the process enhances flavour and aromas lost in the brewhouse without adding to the beer’s bitterness. The practice has become widespread in recent years, during which styles such as India Pale Ale have gained popularity.
