Equipment Overview
A hop gun is an external vessel used in an agreed hop-contact or recirculation process. The system should be specified with the fermenter interfaces, circulation method and hop material to be used.
Applications & Process
Discuss aroma addition for the intended beer styles. Hop contact time, temperature and the production procedure affect the result; the equipment does not prescribe a universal recipe.
Configuration Options
The following are options to discuss for your project. Only the equipment and features identified in the agreed quotation are included.
- Hop vessel, loading access and retained-solids arrangement.
- Supply/return piping and a compatible transfer pump where needed.
- Pressure monitoring, venting and cleaning features for the confirmed duty.
Selection & Layout
Provide the beer batch volume, hop mass and connection details. Identify tank pressure and the method used to avoid oxygen pickup during loading, transfer and disconnection.
Cleaning, Utilities & Connections
Confirm pressure limits, safe isolation and vessel opening procedures. Define hop removal and cleaning after use so solids do not obstruct product circulation.
Prepare Your Equipment Inquiry
Beer styles, batch volume, hop form and dose, tank pressure and existing connection details. Include drawings or photos of existing equipment if the new item must connect to your current process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a hop gun replace the fermenter dry-hop port?
It is a separate process arrangement. Compare the desired contact method, handling and transfer interfaces.
Can it connect to an existing tank?
Provide drawings, fittings and operating limits so the complete circulation circuit can be checked.
