Chinook hops are a product of the USDA breeding program in Washington State.

It was originally bred as a bittering hop back in 1985, but has recently been recognized as a dual-purpose hop that is well rounded and suited for many different styles.

It has predominately spicy and piney characteristics that transfer through into the flavor and aroma.

Chinook also contributes bright grapefruit notes that accentuate its clean bitterness.

Chinook hops are noted for their higher Geraniol content, which is biotransformed by yeast into Citronellol a highly-sought-after aroma compound in fruit-forward IPAs.

Aroma: Fruity, Piney, Spicy, and similar to Cascade.

Typical Usage: Dual purpose

Chinook INCOGNITO Hops USAGE:

Generally a 1:6 replacement ratio.
Usage is 1g/L INCOGNITO in the whirlpool is equivalent to 1.5lb/bbl pellets (5.8g/L).
The maximum recommended dose is 2g/L.

Chinook INCOGNITO Hops BREWING TIPS:

– 1g of weight is roughly equivalent of 1ml of volume
– Each 20ml jar is roughly the equivalent of 4oz of T90 pellets hops in the whirlpool
– INCOGNITO is flowable at room temp, but you can wrap it in a warm towel to lower the viscosity and improve portability.

It easier than ever to brew hop-forward beers. The love of hop-forward beers is driving brewers to use more hops than ever before.

The more pellets you use, the more beer you lose in the process.

Now there’s INCOGNITO®, an all-natural hop flavor product specifically designed to be used in the whirlpool.

It delivers the impactful, variety-specific flavor outcomes brewers want—without the process loss.
