# What is DynaBoost™?
DynaBoost™ (formerly YCH 702) is a flowable hop extract produced using supercritical CO₂ extraction technology and designed specifically for whirlpool applications.
Its primary purpose is to improve hop aroma transfer, increase brewhouse yield, and reduce trub generated from hop material.

# Key Benefits
* Enhances hop aroma
* Improves brewhouse yield
* Reduces whirlpool trub and solid matter
* Requires less storage space
* Reduces shipping costs
* Easy to use and highly pourable
* Maintains variety-specific hop character
—
# How It Works
DynaBoost contains a high concentration of beer-soluble “survivable compounds.”
These compounds have a greater chance of surviving the brewing process and reaching the finished beer compared to many traditional hop products.
Benefits include:
* Improved aroma retention
* Greater whirlpool efficiency
* Reduced loss of hop oils during production

# Recommended Dosage
Typical usage rate:
0.15 – 0.50 g/L of wort
Depending on beer style and brewer preference.

# Replacing T-90 Pellets
Standard replacement ratio:
10 kg T-90 pellets = 1 kg DynaBoost
or
10:1 by weight
Examples:
| T-90 Pellets | DynaBoost |
| ———— | ——— |
| 5 kg | 500 g |
| 10 kg | 1 kg |
| 20 kg | 2 kg |
| 30 kg | 3 kg |
—
# Replacing Cryo Hops
Formula:
Cryo weight (kg) × 0.091 = DynaBoost required (kg)
Examples:
| Cryo Hops | DynaBoost |
| ——— | ——— |
| 5 kg | 454 g |
| 10 kg | 908 g |
—
# Yield Improvements
Because DynaBoost contains virtually no vegetal matter:
* Less trub is produced
* Less wort is absorbed by hop solids
* More wort reaches the fermenter
Some breweries have reported yield increases of up to 5%.
—
# When Should It Be Added?
Recommended application:
Whirlpool
Best practices:
* Add during active agitation
* Pour directly into the whirlpool
* Lower whirlpool temperatures improve aroma retention
* Additional cooling is not required
—
# Available Varieties
* Citra
* Mosaic
* Simcoe
* Sabro
* Centennial
* Idaho 7

# Brewer Summary
DynaBoost is not designed to produce dramatically stronger aroma than T-90 pellets.
Instead, it is designed to:
* Improve whirlpool efficiency
* Increase brewhouse yield
* Reduce trub generation
* Reduce wort losses
* Lower storage and shipping costs
* Improve transfer of hop-derived aroma compounds into finished beer
* Replace a significant portion of whirlpool hop additions at roughly a 10:1 ratio
For breweries producing Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, Pale Ale, and Double IPA, DynaBoost can be a valuable tool for improving both production efficiency and aroma delivery.
