FRESH HOP OIL
Turn up the flavour volume of your brew with our new range of Amplifire™ advanced hop products.
What is Amplifire™?
We’ve taken all the smash-hit flavour notes from our most popular hop varieties and dialled up the flavour volume to bring you Amplifire™: the noisiest range of advanced hop product innovations from New Zealand.
“Clayton's Amplifire™️ hop oil has allowed us to capture the amazing aroma of fresh NZ hops while maintaining great yields which are so important in this time of ever-increasing costs.”
WHAT IS AMPLIFIRE™ FRESH HOP OIL?
Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil is our water-soluble liquid dry hop or brite tank addition product. The product is designed to boost flavour and aroma as well as beer yields and is super easy to use. It is also a great product for hop water.
Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil is produced in New Zealand making it a more environmentally responsible product. It is extracted from whole hop cones on the same day they were harvested. From bine to bottle in one epic day! The whole hop cones are processed into oil from ‘wet’ hops, meaning straight off the hop plant without any drying or pelletising. You can’t get any fresher than that!
The extraction process does not use any solvents. Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil is free of bittering components.
Boost Flavour & Aroma
This powerful product can enhance flavour and aroma, whether using as a dry hop replacement or brite tank addition.
Increase Beer Yield
Unlike hop pellets, our product does not absorb beer, so increased beer yields result when used as a dry hop replacement.
Increase Revenue
More beer means more revenue.
Variety Specific
Variety specific and true-to-type.
Quicker Filtration & Reduce Brewing Waste
Our product solubilises into beer so no sediment is left behind, meaning quicker filtration and less brewing waste.
Ease of Use
Water-soluble liquid product.
Shipping & Storage Efficiencies
Concentrated hop oil occupies considerably less space than the equivalent amount of hop pellets, which reduces shipping and storage footprint.
Reduce Packaging Waste
Bottles instead of the cardboard cartons and foil bags associated with hop pellet packaging.
Reduce Environmental Impact
Being grown and made in New Zealand, our product is more environmentally sustainable.
Reduce Hop Creep
Free of hop-creep inducing monosaccharides and enzymes.
Great Value for Money
The price point along with the concentration offers excellent value for money.
Reduced Oxidation
Ease of dosing can reduce oxidation potential in comparison to dry hopping.
AMPLIFIRE™ FRESH HOP OIL RANGE
Amplifire™ Fresh Hop Oil is available in all our hop varieties.
BREWERS' GUIDE TO USING AMPLIFIRE™ FRESH HOP OIL
-
Always shake the bottle well before using.
Dose Amplifire™ Oil into 2-3 litres of your brew or hop water (as applicable) and agitate to disperse before dosing into the tank. Alternatively, disperse in warm (not hot) water first.
For beer dry hopping or brite tank addition:
- Amplifire™ Oil can be used alongside hop pellets during the dry hopping stage to partially replace hop pellet doses without sacrificing beer body and mouthfeel.
- It can also be dosed straight into the brite tank.
- Dose prior to carbonating to avoid any potential impact on head retention.
Dosing rates will vary according to brewer preference. As a starting point we suggest:
Base style Dry hopping range Starting trial dose rates Lager & lighter beer styles 0.5 - 5g/L 3 - 5mL/hL Pale ale 4 - 10g/L 10 - 15mL/hL IPA 8 - 15g/L 15 - 20mL/hL Hop water 3 - 15mL/hL As further guidance, 100mL of Amplifire™ Oil is equivalent to using around 5kgs of T-90 hop pellets. This makes Amplifire™ Oil exceptional value for money. It even makes the likes of Riwaka™, traditionally a more expensive hop, very affordable.

Unopened bottles can be stored at ambient temperature out of direct sunlight. However, we recommend storing at a cool, stable temperature, ideally in a cool store.
For opened bottles, ensure oxygen is purged from the bottle with CO2 after use, then store in a cool place.
