Yakima Chief Hops Introduces Groundbreaking High Oil Hop Extract to Intensify Aroma Profile of Beer

YAKIMA, WA ., July 15, 2024 — Yakima Chief Hops (YCH), a grower-owned global hop supplier, proudly announces the launch of HyperBoost™! Previously known as YCH 701 Trial, HyperBoost™ is the latest innovation to come out of YCH’s Research and Development Program. Designed to easily pour in the fermenter as a dry-hop addition, HyperBoost™ excels at amplifying hop aroma and increasing final beer yield. It can be used anywhere pellets are normally used, including cold-side applications.

Technical Marketing Manager Tessa Schilaty also runs FWD, a new program by YCH and Yakima Chief Ranches (YCR) that engages brewery partners in trialing innovative products. The inaugural cohort of 68 breweries located across 21 different countries received HyperBoost™ as their first trial product. “It’s been thoroughly battle-tested by our brewing partners. The positive feedback confirms that we have achieved something exceptional,” says Schilaty of her direct work with brewers trialing HyperBoost™ in different applications. She adds, “HyperBoost™ is one of the most exciting product launches that I’ve worked on. It fills such an important need in the industry right now – a product that can increase beer yield and improve flavor.”

Concentrated at 40-70% oil through an inventive supercritical CO₂ extraction technique, HyperBoost™ delivers a high concentration of survivable compounds in variety-specific aroma attributes. Currently, HyperBoost™ is ready to ship in 100g and 1kg aluminum bottles in Citra^®, Simcoe^®, Mosaic^®, and more. Dosing will vary by process, equipment, and desired outcome. Most brewers are using HyperBoost™ in the fermenter as an active or post-fermentation dry hop addition, but it can also be used in the whirlpool.
