Description
HopAlpha NISO 25% – hop extract for clean bitterness after fermentation
HopAlpha NISO 25% from Totally Natural Solutions is a standardised 25% solution of natural iso-alpha acids that gives clean bitterness. Iso-alpha acids are the bitter compounds that otherwise form when hops are boiled. That is why HopAlpha can be added to fully fermented beer, letting you adjust the bitterness at the end without boiling. The bottle contains 15 ml, equivalent to 16 grams.

Frequently asked questions about HopAlpha NISO 25%
When do I add HopAlpha NISO?
After fermentation, for full effect. HopAlpha can also be added during the boil or fermentation, but the effect is then reduced.
How much HopAlpha NISO do I need?
It depends on the volume of beer and how much bitterness you want. Use the calculator above and leave the alpha acid concentration at 25%.
Does HopAlpha NISO add hop aroma?
HopAlpha adds bitterness. If you want hop aroma after fermentation, HopBurst is a better fit.
What is the difference between HopAlpha and a regular bittering hop?
Regular hops must be boiled for the alpha acids to turn into bitter iso-alpha acids. HopAlpha already contains the iso-alpha acids and can therefore be added to finished beer.
