hop extract alternatives

[dad_of_jon]

Hi Y'all,

I can thoroughly recommend this:

https://www.brouwland.com/en/our-pr...d/hop-extract-isomerised-6-100ml#.WdtVfmhSy70

it saves a hop boil so can let you do reduce boil times or none at all if using extract. I've used it to make 15 & 40 ibu brews :-)

but I can't recommend this.....

https://www.brouwland.com/en/our-pr...hop-aroma-brewferm-citrussy-5-ml#.WdtWBGhSy70

I used 5ml in 21 litres which is over double the recommended amount and did not get the punch I was expecting.

The world wide classics come with a bottle that says to add just before pitching the yeast,rhi myself that's too soon and the fermentation will drive most the aromas and flavours off,best on day 3

dad,
the first link is extract,the other is an aroma.
put a dab behind the ear,s before you have a drink?.

The Malt Miller aroma oils seem pretty good, although I usually use them in conjunction with normal dry hopping for an extra hop hit.
I'm gonna try them as the sole 'dry hop' in my next brew so will let you know how it turns out.

Interesting to hear how that one goes. Like you I’ve always done it in conjunction with a dry hop and kegs hop bags.

My last one was the mega cascade SMaSH I made and kegged before I ruined my body by starting to build a brewshed.

Gonna try it in a remake of my table beer recipe, which isn't a hop bomb but had about 80g pellets for a dry hop last time - I want to reuse the yeast cake though so don;t want hops in the FV

Wise though to keg before starting the shed so at least you've got a beer to look forward to after a days graft : how much cascade did you use?
