Characterisation of hop particle separation for efficient dry hopping

Hop filter cake | Dry hopped beers are a very important factor for the craft beer movement. In order to obtain the desired aroma profile, hops are added in the fermenter or storage tank.

Cake-forming filtration is thus investigated as a very promising alternative for solid-liquid separation processes used nowadays.
