Ekuanot 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.

Ekuanot 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.

“I THINK INCOGNITO IS GOING TO CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE BREW.” – Dave Colt, Co-Founder & Head Brewer, Sun King Brewing Co
