Improving Fermentation Naturally in the Fuel Ethanol
and Spirits Industries

Hops have been used in the fermentation process for thousands of years during the brewing of beer. Hop extractives protect the yeast from stress factors in solutions containing fermentable sugars.

BetaTec Hop Products have developed a range of naturally-derived substances for use in distilleries and fuel ethanol production factories. They can be added to yeast propagators, conversion vessels or fermentation tanks, and are designed to improve fermentation performance.
