Hop Oils

[paulpj26]

I know Commercial Breweries are able to obtain them but can Homebrewers buy hop oils? :

What are you looking for exactly?

Tetralone?
Isomerised hop extract?
Hop Distilate?
Hop Milk?

Not heard of hop oils per-say but the above are available to commercials, & They are only really any good as a bittering addition, what do you want them for?

I was really thinking along the lines of aroma (so I guess I mean essential oils), I've seen a couple of Hop Oils on sale in the States http://www.hoptech.com/cart/cart.php?ta ... ory_id=300

It's probably totally unnecessary, I was just wondering if you could get a more powerful aroma using hop oils as I guess it would be concentrated. :thumb:

Can't remember if Tom Caxtons real ale kits used a sachet of powder or liquid :wha:

I would just dry hop - great aroma possible from this

Cheers guys! Think I'll try dry hopping first but if that doesn't work I'll have a crack with the liquids. :

Looks like Ross (Craft Brewer) is your best bet, from the forum, (those hop oils are not cheap though).

Get out the dry hops.
