ETHOS X true hopping extraction for breweries

The innovative True Hopping technique delivered by the Milestone ETHOS X 2.0 and ETHOS XL enables brewers to maximize hops utilization by using the essential oils extracted from their own hop varieties.

True Hopping Extraction for Breweries ETHOS X ™ line ETHOS X 2.0 and ETHOS XL enables brewers to maximize hops utilization by using the essential oils extracted from different hop varieties.

Enabling more profitable brewing Beer is made from water, malt, hops and yeast. Hops cones are used in beer as they provide components that improve microbiological stability, bitterness, flavor, aroma as well as improve head retention. To improve the hop flavor extraction efficiency of the conventional dry-hopping process Milestone has applied a novel hopping technique called True Hopping, which uses the well-established solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME) approach. REDUCED HOPS CONSUMPTION INCREASED BREWING YIELDS EASIER BLENDING AND FLAVOR ENRICHMENT The ETHOS X 2.0 and ETHOS XL have been designed to enable a fast implementation into the brewing process. The two systems differ in terms of their productivity, addressing the requirements of different brewery sizes. The ETHOS X line consists of two units dedicated to different brewing scales. The ETHOS X 2.0 processes 1 Kg of hop pellets per run while the ETHOS XL 2.5 Kg . The ease of use of the systems and the short processing time of 1-2 hours ensures high productivity required to match the output of craft breweries.

Milestone has developed a rapid and quick-to-adopt brewery process The ETHOS X 2.0 and ETHOS XL easily integrates to your brewery process regardless of the hops variety chosen. To obtain the pure extracts from hops variant, you only need to load the material into the system and press start. The extract can be stored in glass at -18°C to ensure flavor stability for several months. When needed, the distilled hop oil is mixed with a carrying agent and added into fermenter and/or in whirpooling/sedimentation tank for hopping, while extracted hops matter can be added in kettle for bittering in the last 10 minutes of the boil. We call this approach True Hopping , as it maximises hops utilisation, thereby significantly reducing the amount of hops pellets used to achieve the same beer flavor profile. True Hopping then considerably increases the production yields which effectively reduces the beer production costs. Discover the process Watch the workflow of the process
