Yakima Chief Hops (YCH) has launched DynaBoost, described as an “exceptionally flowable variety-specific hop extract”.

The product, formerly known as YCH 702, is designed for whirlpool use and was created using a proprietary process, capturing true-to-type hop aroma attributes and delivering them to your beer in an easy-to-pour bottle.

Tessa Schilaty, technical marketing manager at YCH said: “It’s rewarding to introduce a product that encapsulates our research into a practical, innovative solution for brewers.

“DynaBoost not only enhances the sensory palate with its high concentration of beer-soluble hop compounds but also addresses logistical and economic challenges modern breweries face.”

According to YCH, DynaBoost’s key strength is its extreme pourability, “flowing effortlessly at room temperature with no hot water bath required”.

Used as a hassle-free replacement for T-90 pellets in the whirlpool, this highly soluble product can increase hot-side yields by up to 5%. YCH said that 1kg of DynaBoost can replace 10kg of T-90 pellets, saving costs on freight and space in a brewery’s cooler.

“We explored a name that would capture how dynamic this product is,” added YCH director of marketing, Pascal Fritz.

“Based on internal trials, and feedback from our brewing partners, we realized this extract was exceptional. Aside from its pourability, it can boost the hop profile of beer in ways that other products cannot.”

DynaBoost is currently available in Simcoe, Citra, Mosaic, Sabro, and Centennial, with more coming soon.
