Hop Dosing Unit with Flow-Through, Hop Infuser
The Hop Missile can be used both in Hop Back mode and as a Flow-through hop infuser. The difference lies in routing the wort back to the kettle through the Hop Missile OR directing the wort straight to the fermenter through the Hop Missile as a Flow-through hop infuser. Both methods let you participate in an exciting process that gives your beer additional aroma and flavor enhancement using this novel hop addition method. This is essential equipment for all home hop growers to showcase the best qualities of their harvest.

Recommended Connections
We recommend using camlock connections for inlet and outlet. Specifically female 1/2" BSP to male Camlock.
Other Uses
This Hop Missile can also be used as a flow-through filter to filter out most of the hop material before reaching the fermenter. Fill the device with 80g of rice hulls and run the wort through!
Important Notice
When using pelleted hops or if you have a large amount of sediment and debris, it may compress and obstruct the flow through the Hop Missile. To prevent this, it's recommended to install a pre-filter in the kettle to prevent excess material from entering the hopback device. We strongly recommend using rice hulls with hop pellets to facilitate wort passage through the Hop Missile.
Operating Principle
The Hop Missile is designed to enhance beer hop aroma and flavor as wort moves from kettle to fermenter. The device allows wort to pass through a hop layer in a controlled manner, extracting more aroma and flavor components into the beer without adding unnecessary bitter compounds.
⚠️ Important: ⚠️ Pressure equipment — operates under pressure. Max working pressure: 2.8 bar. Exceeding the working pressure may cause deformation. Use a pressure gauge.
