REDIHOP®
Purpose Provision of light-stable bitterness.
Composition Potasium salt of Rho-iso-alpha-acids 30% w/v in aqueous alkaline solution. Redihop® is produced by borohydride reduction of iso-alpha-acids derived from the extraction of hops with carbon dioxide.
Use In light-stable beers of moderate to strong bitterness, Redihop® complements Tetrahop Gold® in providing a rounded bitterness without creating an excessively stable foam. For light-stable beers packaged in clear or green glass bottles, all the bitterness must be derived from Redihop® and/or Tetrahop Gold®. Redihop® may be added, without prior dilution, to the kettle or directly to beer either before or after conditioning but before the final filtration and, preferably, by metered injection into the beer stream during transfer. Local high concentrations of rho-iso-alpha-acids should be avoided and the addition point should be well separated from that of any other additives. For further details and usage calculations, please see the Redihop® document on the Barth Haas Group website: Technical Specification.
Packaging Normally available from Botanix in high density polythene containers of 20 or 25 litres.
Storage Store in full, closed containers at 15° to 25°C. It is normal for crystals of rho-iso-alpha-acids to separate during storage. These crystals may be redissolved by warming the product to 50°C and mixing.
