Hop Missile Inline Hop Infuser & Hop Back

Hop Missile

A Hop Missile is used to pump wort through a container of hops, and can be an exciting tool to really pull the most aroma and flavor out of the hops.

Hop Missile from Kegland has two main uses in brewing: As Hop Back and as Inline Hop Infuser. The difference simply lies in whether the wort passing through the container of hops should be pumped back to the brewing kettle, or on to the fermentation tank. Both methods are often used during the same brewing.

The Hop Missile comes equipped with 1/2″ BSP threads. We recommend using Cam Lock connectors for easy connection and disconnection of hoses.
