Precise flavor control - right to the "bitter" end!

YC-Iso is a purified solution of iso-alpha acids derived from a pure resin CO2 extract of hops. It gives you precise control of the pure bitter flavor of the hops in your beer - through post-fermentation bitterness adjustments - allowing for greater flexibility in your brewing process.

YC-Iso allows for the reduction of the iso-cohumulone level in beer. Because of its high utilization of hop alpha acids, it is an economical way to enhance the clean, crisp bitterness of your beer.

Shipping and storing are also easier and more economical - one 20 L container of YC-Iso will hop as much beer as two hop bales or eight boxes (20 Kg per box) of hop pellets.

The production of high purity YC-Iso requires high quality hops. At Yakima Chief, great care is given the hops from seedling on. Pictured is one of our large, state-of-the-art kiln facilities, where the hops are dried right from the harvest under strict temperature control, prior to careful ambient cooling (inset photo), baling, pelleting and extraction. The close proximity of these facilities, along with our exacting standards in compliance with our ISO 9001 certification, is your guarantee that all of our hop products are
delivered fresh.
