Application

For effective bitterness, the extract should be used at the beginning of the wort boiling or up to ten minutes afterwards be admitted. The yield of the α-acids in the beer is slightly higher than with non-isomerized hop pellets and is usually between 32 and 38%. If added late during the wort boiling process, the Yield of the α-acids are significantly lower. The required amount of CO2 hop extract results from the α acid content and the expected yield. The actual yield can vary depending on the plant and Process parameters vary. If the addition is made by means of an automated dosing system, the extract should be in the Heated up beforehand to 40 ° C and gently stirred to ensure a clean dosage
