What’s the advange of using a Hop Cannon from Carry Brewtech?
Avoid oxygen pick-up
Better aroma pick up
Dry hopping under pressure
Use less hops
Save more beers
Why dry-hopping?
Brewers dry hop beer to add aroma to beer. Adding hops on the cold side (after the wort has been chilled) prevents hops from volatizing and the essential oils from evaporating out. The net result of dry hopping is added aroma without any additional bitterness.
How to dry-hopping?
The hops are placed inside the cannon, they are on the outside of a stainless-steel candle which act as a filter. So, when the beer is introduced and recirculated it then flows back to the FV, with the hop aroma is contained in the cannon
How long will it take for this dry-hopping job?
Generally, you can run the cannon recirculating the beer for a minimum of 1-3 hours, all depends on how big of your pump, testing the beer throughout for sensory analysis. When you have the desired aroma, you can stop the recirculation of the beer through the hops and push all the beer back to the FV with CO2.
It means the desired hop aroma is added in one day rather than 4 days with traditional methods. Plus, as this process takes place in a closed CO2 circuit, there’s much less oxygen pick up than with traditional dry hopping methods.
How Long Do Your Circulate For?
You needs to recirculate until you‘ve done 5 times your total volume tank volume.
So, in a way it depends on the power of your pump. You need to know the maximum speed of you pump. For example, if the pump works at 3,000 liters per hour and you have a 1,000 liters tank then you need run the hop cannons for 1.7 hours:
1,000 * 5 = 5,000L ; 5,000 / 3,000 = 1.6 hours
However, this is just a guide as the pump might not work to maximum speed, that’s why you usually go by sensory. So, run the hop cannon until you’re happy with the aroma profile.
Tips:
Do always run the cannon at the fastest speed the pump will go at. The recirculation runs under pressure and you will need to create good vortex to get the maximum aroma from the hops.
Furthermore, higher turbulence prevents the candle from blocking.
What Temperature is the Beer at When Using the Cannon?
This is truly personal preference; all brewers have their own beliefs and methods.
Experienced brewer usually run a cannon at 17°C (62.6°F).
Generally, the warmer the beer the more aroma will be picked up. Most brewers tend to dry-hop in the 17 to 21°C (62.6 to 69.8°F) range. Although, some brewers dry hop at 10°C (50°F). While 17°C leads to less chance of polyphenol extraction, astringency or hop bite.
What Pressure When Using the Cannon?
Over time the candle gets a little clogged with pressure starting to rise in the cannon, we suggest to start with 4 PSI (0.27 Bar) or even lower in the FV/unitank where the beer is being held, and the maximum pressure in the hop cannon is under 25 PSI (1.7 Bar). Which is high but still within safe parameters.
Attention:
Dump out as much trub, sediment and yeast from the FV/unitank before you run the cannon to help prevent pressure build up.
Also, if pressure does start to build in the cannon and the FV. You can reduce the pressure in the FV, which will lower the pressure in the cannon too.
Is the Filter Removable for Cleaning/Replacement etc.?
All parts can be disassembled, and cleaned.
It’s much like a unitank, where you take all the parts off and clean them when doing a CIP.
The candle/filter can be taken out and cleaned. It should be done as it’s the easiest way to clean off the sediment stuck to it.
Once you’ve cleaned and rinsed out the sediment out of the cannon and from the candle, you can put it all together and do a regular CIP. It has its own CIP spray balls in place.
