Hop Extraction Technology Using Hydro Dynamics Cavitation to be Presented at Master Brewers Association Conference

Hop extraction technology by Hydro Dynamics, Inc. (HDI) will be presented at the Master Brewers Association of the Americas (MBAA) Annual Meeting in Jacksonville, FL, October 8, 2015. Mr. Santiago Gomez, of strategic partner Apotek Solutions, LLC, will deliver a talked entitled, “Use of microscopic pressurized shockwaves generated by controlled cavitation as a non-shear method for increased extraction of alpha acids and oils from hops”. The talk will detail the ability of the ShockWave Power Reactor Technology (SPR) to increase the amount of alpha acids extracted from hops, a common flavoring in beer. The talk will also briefly discuss increased sugar/starch extraction from grains as well as using cavitation to accelerate the aging of liquors like whisky.
