Hop Oils

Saw these on geterbrewed and was wondering if anyone had tried them?

Thinking it might be a cheap n easy way to dry hop :)

Looks like an interesting product. Quite a few of the big brewing suppliers sell them. I'll be interested to read user reports of how well they work. Looks like mostly they are a substitute for dry hopping to add aroma.

Yeah, was thinking it'd be a hassle free way to dry hop. No one tried them then?

Looks like I'll be the guinea pig :)

I saw them the other day. Are they the same kind of thing as hop powders like the ones with St peters kits? Would be a lot easier than trying to cram hop leaf into a demijohn as i just found out. Let us know how you get on. :)

Never used them but have read on other forums they're quite good

Got some from the malt Miller it livened up a wherry

What is the usage rate on these, is it a all in?

It recommends starting with 2ml for a 23l batch

Sounds interesting, and possibly a lot cheaper.. on the MM it says what oil you have, the geterbrewed ones do not say what hops they use.

MM= Malt Miller For a moment there, thought MM was going into the hop oil business to flog along with his wort chillers

So if you had a small enough dropper you could brighten up an under hopped pint maybe :)

It would have to be a tiny one if they are saying 2ml for for 23litres.. like those eye drop ones
